Kip's Tips (K-tips! Not recommended for use in ears):

-make grand battement a dual-purpose exercise by throwing fast, but catching and holding leg at highest point
-in fondu, establish correct position immediately by (a) using floor to push onto supporting leg and (b) hitting coupe immediately. No peeling! In this art form, every tiny detail matters
-to hold a balance, energy is concentrated along length of abs and hips, rather than in upper back

Longest pirouettes-from-5th exercise EVER. A balance-heavy class.
