Today's lesson is all about the movement Fondue in classical ballet.

Fondues are used in many combinations in class, both at the barre and in the center.

If you are just starting out and new to ballet, Fondue will probably feel very awkward, hard to coordinate, and difficult to control. I hear this a lot from my beginners and adult students. But even at an advanced or professional level, Fondue is something to improve on every day.

Working on the proper movement dynamic, keeping your knees over your toes fully, extending your legs at the same time, maintaining the turnout, and keeping the hips square, while balancing on one leg is a lot to think about!

Fondue is something a dancer must work to improve throughout their entire career. There is no such thing as perfect for a ballerina, just the continual striving for perfection. Art doesn't have an arrival point, it's all about the process and journey. That's why we take class every single day, there's always more growth to discover!
