Hi my name is Chell Garcia-Trias and I'm a modern dance instructor in Austin, Texas and I'm going to show you how to do developes the way that I would do them in modern dance. So even though it is modern dance we are going to start in first position and this is going to be an exercise to really help us strengthen our leg muscles. So first I'm going to bring my feet together and I'm going to open my toes out just to where it s comfortable, it doesn't have to be super turned out or anything and I'm going to bring my toe up to my knee while I drop my head down and I'm going to bring my toe forward, forward, forward and then I'm going to bring it down. The whole town I'm dropping my dropping my hip, dropping my hip. So I'll show you from the side. I'm bringing my foot up, up, up, dropping my hip, up, up, up. I'm pointing my toe and then I'm bringing it out in front of me and then I'm going to drop it. Do a few of those, out and drop it and you do the other side also. You're really going to feel this burn in your hamstrings and calves and thigh muscles and that will be really good for you so that is the way I would do some developes in modern dance.
