Her arm is slightly behind her in a la seconde - not completely behind her. Again, we do not follow the Cecchetti manual or method. Most of our teachers are actually certified through American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum.
Hi! I am a ballet/dance teacher in Peru, trained here and Canada, danced at ALBERTA BALLET, BALLET JORGEN, LES GRANDS BALLETS CANADIENS AND AT THE NATIONAL BALLET OF CANADA...and would like to know about the arabesques in the Cecchetti method because I heard online a teacher mentioning that the third arabesque (for example) doesn’t matter if it is with in a croisé line or efface Line. So does that mean it would be the same as the fifth arabesque but without de Demi plié...Is that correct?
Hi Bruno, yes, the Cecchetti method is not based on which way the dancer is facing. In other words, the dancer could be facing upstage or downstage or to a corner and would still be in 3rd arabesque. Yes 5th arabesque without the demi-plie would be 3rd arabesque. Third arabesque is both arms in the same direction on a straight standing leg.
Question about the fingers in Third Arabesque: Why are the fingers rising? I noticed the left hand of the dancer at 0:56 is pointing upwards and not straight like the right hand. Sorry, I hope it is all right to ask.
The arm is always behind you in all arabesque in the cecchetti method yours were at second
I also learned fourth and fifth with standing leg closest to audience and arm opposite to standing leg higher
@@jniceroad 5th arabesque is 3rd arabesque on a bent standing leg, 4th arabesque is like 1st or 2nd arabesque on a bent standing leg.

Thank you for your comments this is based on the Cecchetti method. We do not actually follow the Cecchetti method or manual.
Why are you giving information or tutorials for something you don’t do yourself?
Thank you

Just the angle that it was filmed at and then slowed down when edited.
