Leg + Crossing Focus [Intermediate]
Technique Focus: Turnout + Crossing

11m
"Cross your feet!" Chances are, you've heard that line before from your TCRG! In this workout, we're honing in on some of the muscles which help us keep our feet crossed and presented neatly, while also giving our low abs some special attention. From the mat, we'll activate our inner thighs while attempting to execute an "entrechat" jump move (as referenced from ballet) - keeping our legs tight and toes pointed at all times!
