As you do these exercises on a portable barre in front of the mirror you will be encouraged to use the barre by pressing down on it with your hands. This will energize your shoulders and supporting arm, strengthen your posture, and help you to balance the movement of your legs and feet in center floor. You will also be instructed to keep your head turned toward yourself in the mirror so that you check your placement, alignment, and execution while you develop correct body positions—éffacé, croisé, and écarté. All pliés (except for stretches) are to be performed with opposition and resistance, which will strengthen your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and core. The fondu-relevé exercises develop proper placement, balance, and foot-ankle-knee strength which are necessary in order to correctly execute most poses, turns, and jumps. Learning to plié and relevé correctly on one foot is the determining factor in how quickly you can advance, so take these lessons with Finis Jhung to heart and you will be well on your way!

This Class is so much fun! Finis shows and explains each exercise, Saige does it, Finis corrects and coaches, Saige does it again. When it's needed, Finis has Saige try a step several times so that it's very clear to the viewer (and Saige) what needs to be done. Besides the technical "how to" information, Finis gives examples of musical and artistic choices that make the difference.
With each exercise, it becomes clear that as you learn and perfect your preparations, you'll get the results you’re looking for. The centerwork proceeds from working on pirouettes at the barre through grand pirouettes en dedans to new jumps such as balloté, balloné, entrechat royale, grand fouetté en tournant, and grand jeté saut de chat. You're going to watch this one with a smile and hope in your heart!

Physical Theater: The Joe Goode Performance Group This two volume program features The Joe Goode Performance Group, a San Francisco based company that offers exciting dance theater that integrates storytelling, music, voice and deeply physical dancing. Part 1 features a performance of the 1996 work “Maverick Strain” (excerpts) recorded at the Joyce Theater in New York in 2009. “Maverick Strain” offers a deconstruction of Arthur Miller's screenplay for the film The Misfits, explores themes of cowboy individualism and outsider identity and features original music by Beth Custer. Excerpts from a talk with Joe Goode are also included on the disc.
Part 2 features a complete performance of Goode’s “Wonderboy” (2008), a remarkable performance that incorporates Basil Twist's magical puppetry into Joe Goode Performance Group's innovative storytelling through dance, text and song. The work offers an unexpected tale of a peculiar hero isolated by his gift of sensitivity and an intuitive knack to see and perceive and even to heal with his gentle demeanor. “Wonderboy” was also recorded at New York’s Joyce Theater in 2009 and also features original music by Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi. Excerpts from a talk with Joe Goode are also included in part 2.

Get ready for a jaw-dropping, eye-popping experience as you watch Gold-Silver-Bronze Medalist Joseph Michael Gatti perform the variations from Black Swan and Le Corsaire and then show "How It's Done" with Finis Jhung.
Here is a thrilling display of the male bravura technique — all the virtuoso steps that stop the show and make audiences stand and cheer. Joe’s ability to turn is uncanny — he finishes most all his turns, including 9 pirouettes - on demi-pointe.
His air turns are big and juicy, and his "trick" jumps are electrifying. Movement-by-movement, Finis and Joe go through all the steps and break down the preparations and main ideas. To help you better understand the mechanics of turns and jumps, Finis uses his teaching toys. This video is a Winner!
