Battement Tendu Basics

Franziska at Holistic Ballet has another very nice video out, breaking down the details of tendu (leg and foot stretches).  This is another video series she is doing on Beginner Ballet Basic.   She gives a great explanation and demonstrations of how the foot and leg should be moving outward and inward, during battement tendu.  It's all about articulation in the foot, brushing along the floor, and taughtness in the leg.  

It's a great video for those just starting ballet.  Intermediate and advance dancers can benefit from some of her tips and reminders too; it's always useful to go back to basics.  Check it out!
