Voilà! Demi-ronds lying on the back—one of our foundational floor-barre exercises from the Pre-Ballet curriculum! This exercise focuses on developing the active turnout of the inner leg muscles while mastering demi-ronds with precision.

We’re gearing up for our upcoming seminars with Bolshoi Academy Master Teacher Ekaterina Trunin
