A good exercise to start students in Adagio is Releve Lents. This exercise is first studied facing the barre in the Pre-Ballet levels and then moves on to "one hand on the barre" positions. The movement involves lifting the whole leg from tendu to 45 degrees and later to 90 degrees. We usually start doing this in the decote ( side) position followed by devant (front) then derriere (back) . At Early part of Level 1 of the Vaganova Syllabus we use this exercise at the center to transition to Battement Developpe and Battement Fondu.
