Barre Combination

This document contains instructions for two ballet combinations: a fast tendu combination and a center combination. The fast tendu combination begins in fifth position with the right foot front and arms in low fifth. It consists of tendu movements to the front, side, and back with flexes and points, maintaining the right arm in second position throughout. The center combination begins in fifth position with the left foot front and arms in low fifth. It includes a glissade derrière, jeté, pas de bourrée, and changements while circling the arms.
