How to do Relevé Walks on Line

  1. Starting Position

    Stand at one end of a floor line or tape. Rise up to your highest relevé with arms in crown position.

    Cues: Highest relevé · Arms in crown · Tall posture

  2. Walk Forward

    Take slow, deliberate steps forward on the line. Each step should be heel-to-toe with fully pointed feet on each lift.

    Cues: Slow steps · Point on each lift · Eyes forward

  3. Walk Backward

    Without lowering from relevé, reverse direction and walk backward along the line. Maintain tall posture.

    Cues: Stay in relevé · Toe-to-heel backward · Don't look down

  4. Add Arm Variations

    Repeat passes with different arm positions: side middle, high V, and one arm up. This challenges balance further.

    Cues: Change arms each pass · Keep shoulders down · Core engaged
