Beautiful and then come right up and she's breathing in and out as she's doing these stretches. As she does her pleas note that her knee is going over her toes and pleas are always should, she's going to turn do a side stretch hips are square, shoulders are square and she's stretching a nice lateral stretch. Stretches the sides and two demi-plié again the right leg that's on the bar is turned out and the toes are pointed and stretching away from the bar.
