THE RECIPE FOR A GOOD ARABESQUE ✨ this question comes up all the time of how do we actually open the hip for arabesque. It’s not a case of twisting and it’s not a case of being so parallel that your leg that is the working leg is completely parallel as well. When the leg is completely parallel, your pelvis literally tilts forwards there’s only so far you can go whilst keeping it parallel and lifting it hence why we end up looking like an ironing board. we have to open the hip, in order to access

GET A PERFECT ARABESQUE LINE ✨🤍 KEY POINTS These are the key fundamentals to doing a proper arabesque. Before we even think about lifting the leg higher to 45° or above it is absolutely critical that we set up our tendu well and are able to connect with the alignment and muscles in a basic position. We must keep the sides of the body long activate the rotation in the hips stacking one hip on top of the other one whilst counter balancing and using the inner thigh and deep rotators in the support
