Instruction in partnering for ballet dancers.

Both men's and women's positions and movements are described, correct and incorrect forms are demonstrated, and helpful tips are given. Included are supported balances, promenades, turns, lifts, the fish dive, the shoulder sit, jetés, and pressages. In a brief ballet excerpt, two women partner each other.
