Long Line Balance
• Raise the leg backwards passing through a toe point then once in an upright balance take the body forward
• Ensure the body remains in the same shape as an upright balance
• Ensure the leg is straight
• Ensure both legs are turned out

• Be careful not to let the body drop to the floor – keep the chest up and shoulders back
• Ensure the lifting and lowering of the leg is completed with control
