Cabriole -- a great step. For cabriole back, face the barre point tendu front and grand battement back for single or double carbriole. Back to the barre and reverse for cabriole front. Do singles and then doubles. The doubles back are beautiful. Do this beating step exercise after the barre, when your legs are warmed up. Do it facing the barre and pushing up, while holding the body straight. The pattern might be eight counts and rest eight counts, four times. Please note: hit to the front or back, not to the side.
