Theorem 2.5.11: A movement is the integral of an infinitesimal series of poses.
Corollary: Between each pose, there must exist a critical factor called "flow".
Example: Pirouettes. Pique fouettes.
It is unrealistic and detrimental to practice to try to hit every single pose contained within a movement. The mind must focus on the most prominent, pivotal moments and visualize them as images to aim for. Flow must be created through proper timing, proper use of the parts of the body, etc. Flow must be used, not forced; under control, not out of control.
