This week in Grade 2 🩰
Across the school we’ve been exploring weight placement and how we transfer our weight when we move - adapted, of course, for each age and level.
For our Grade 2s, that’s included learning their new 4th position and understanding how we move through it when transferring the weight forwards and backwards.
And the floor spots have been earning their keep! 🙌 We’ve also used them for correct use of legs in sautés and rises among other things. Sometimes the visual cue makes such a difference when there are lots of things for little ballet brains and bodies to coordinate at once (plus I get to receive my blueberry pancakes / tacos / whatever else they like to make them in return!)
Lots of proper ballet technique, but plenty of smiles, silliness and apparently winking too! 😉 Because learning well doesn’t have to mean learning seriously all the time. 💜
