‘ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out… it’s not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.’ - neve campbell

Romany Pajdak shows us how to do the iconic Fred step; pose en arabesque, coupé dessous, petit développé, pas de bourré dessous, pas de chat. [source]
The Fred step is a signature combination of steps he incorperated in all of his ballets as a personal tribute to his beloved Pavlova. The step is usually “hidden”, ie. it is not usually done by the principal dancer, but by a corps member or by a supporting character. [source]
