We looked at the third section of a ballet class this lesson, which is the petit allegro section. This means small quick movement of the feet.

We learnt three moves this session, so we can start to develop our understanding of travelling of ballet. We learnt:

• Coupe
• Changement
• Parde de borais

For the above definitions, look at the glossary earlier on in the blog.

We then developed this into a motif, which was slightly different to what we usually did in ballet, as most things are stationary. This motif was then combined with the eshape exercise we did in adage. This motif was quite simple, and I picked this up easier than other motifs.
