Ballet Tutorial: Cambré

Ballet Technique Tutorial: Master your Cambré

🩰 Stand tall with your feet in first position, heels together and toes turned out.
🌟 Imagine a string pulling you gently upwards from the crown of your head, elongating your spine and creating space between each vertebra.
💫 As you inhale, visualize a wave of energy flowing through your body, from your fingertips down to your toes, preparing to release into the movement.
🌿 On the exhale, engage your core muscles and gently begin to arch your upper body backwards, maintaining a long, fluid line from your fingertips to your toes.
🌟 Imagine you are gracefully bending over a gentle curve, like a swan gliding across a serene lake.
💫 Feel the stretch in your chest and the expansion of your ribcage as you reach towards the sky, letting your head follow the natural curve of your spine.
🌿 Hold the position for a moment, feeling the sensation of openness and freedom in your body.
🩰 To return to standing, slowly reverse the movement, engaging your core, leg and glutes muscles to support your spine as you come back to an upright position.
