I remember hearing a lot of my teachers saying 'You have to go back to basics'. I always clung onto this bit of advice.

There are certain ballet positions every dancer needs to hold on to. If you think about any ballet exercises you have learnt, it will contain one of the five basic positions.

The five basic positions will follow a dancer throughout their career. They give your dancing a clean and classical manner.

Everything you do in ballet should be a position. It is important that each movement you make is a position. Make a statement and show your audience what you are trying to present.

To get a ballet pose as perfect as it can be, go back and pinpoint the basics.

Work hard and keep inspired.
