It all comes from the way you do your barrework." As you do this carefully constructed and minutely detailed barre, Finis frequently asks Kelley Waddell of The American Ballet Theatre (and you) to see if she can continue doing an exercise with her hand off the barre. Sometimes, he asks her to check and see that shes not sitting back on her heel, because he wants her to feel shes always ready to move from that position. Kelley works at a portable barre which has been placed in front of the mirror, because Finis thinks it's very important to learn to see what he sees, so that you will eventually be able to correct yourself as you work at the barre. Throughout each exercise, Finis is right at Kelley's side, providing directions and corrections. Go beyond the positions and the terminology - learn to move!
