In the finale of her ballet foundations series, Lexi Romero brings everything to the center, no barre, with her assistant Ava. She teaches an adagio centerpiece combination that starts in a crossed (croisé) fifth and moves through coupé, passé, and an extension, offering both a high-leg and a low-leg option, before turning to en face to balance, extend to second, balancé, and finish with a sous-sus into fifth. Lexi emphasizes lengthening out of each position to find the balance and keeping the work controlled the moment the supporting leg is on its own. After breaking down both sides, the class runs the full combination to music. Ideal for dancers ready to take their barre adagio off the wall and into the center.
