BATTEMENT TENDU RELEVE DEVANT @JacklynDougherty #ballet#howtoballet#balletglossary For more visit https://www.jacklyndougherty.com/ A battement tendu is a ballet movement in which one leg is extended until the point of the stretched foot barely touches the ground A tendu devant is a front tendu, where the heel leads out first, not the toes The heel should be presented forward or "on top" in the pointed position The little toes release first to close back to first or fifth position, not the heel to prevent sickling The weight should be balanced over all three points of the foot, keeping all five toes on the floor The balance points are on the first and fifth metatarsal and the calcaneus (heel bone) Tendu is all about rotation, and gives you the opportunity to warm up those rotating muscles, and strengthen your lateral rotators and piriformis Much love, Jacklyn Dougherty
