Sideways to the barre

Sideways to the barre
With the body at a right angle to the barre the near hand is placed so that the elbow is slightly in front of the body and relaxed, with the line of the wrist unbroken.
The palm should rest lightly on the top of the barre.

The dancer should be able to move slightly forward, sideways, and backward, without displacing the hand unless a complete transfer of weight is made.
