Release

In this morning’s lesson we had Geoff for release technique. Below are a few points I noticed in myself;

  • Whilst in grande plie, I sink into my legs at the bottom and it becomes harder for me to rise which causes me to go off centre. To keep my centre strong I need to plie to an inch or so higher to stop myself from sinking into my legs and this will make it easier for me to control the rise.





  • As I rise to standing from plie I must also push my ankles forward and use the pressure of pushing down to send me back up. I need to not just lift myself by pushing my bum out and sending me off centre.

  • At the bar I also need to use this resistance. The feeling of pushing against something whilst extending my legs to create energy instead of just placing my leg.

  • Although I have improved I still need to take more risks whilst performing regarding my momentum. In the last phrase I am grasping the movement and qualities but I can still push it furthur so i can really travel through the space.


  • Since my first post I really feel I am performing more and am more confident in my own ability. I feel I am applying myself more to the movement and not getting disheartened when it takes me a while to grasp something. I just go for it!
