And now on to the figures, my favorite part. The most common figure you see in a lot of routines is a ballet leg, or a ballet composition. Your laid out on your back, one leg is vertical, one leg is horizontal, to create a ninety degree angle. You?re using the standard scull to keep your hips up. The idea is to get your thigh and your leg out of the water as high as possible, shoulders back, head back, with a big smile on your face. It's good to start practicing on a wall or if you have some stairs, head is back, hips are up. You take your leg; you draw it in along the surface. Make a ninety degree angle with your thigh, keeping as much air underneath your knee as possible, still sculling. Stretch your leg up. Bring it back down. Slide it out. And you have a ballet leg.
