Can you explain what you mean by “promenade second”…thanks so much.
Tamara Rhoades says
Yes, to promenade to the second side means to turn toward the barre (staying in attitude derriere en half pointe), taking the barre with the opposite hand and then lifting the other arm to 5th en haut as you turn the body to be facing the other direction. Now your lifted leg is the inside leg. Does that make sense?
