Hi!
As promised, here's a review of what we did during the first lesson. As homework for the next few weeks, tag some examples of youtube dance links which show how "ballet fingers" should look =P. Different companies use different "fingers"...we will be using the general RAD fingers..the ones shown in the "Position of the arms link" I gave are not suitable for this class hehe...so all the best on your search!

2. Positions of the arms (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, demi seconde, demi bras) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Mn2SRawAs
