Very distinctive ballet school, with very basic use of arms, usually keeping them in preparatoire position. Perpetual use of simple diagonal epaulements. Vocubulary for men is essentially varied forms of beats. Pirouettes are taken with a low developpe into seconde, then from seconde, for outside turns, and with a low developpe into 4th for inside turns. Enormous use of fifth position bras en bas (prepartory position) for beginning and ending movements. Has many recognizable poses such as pointe derriere one arm in 5th, the other a la taille (at the waist), with a touch of epaulement. Famous dancers from this school include Erik Bruhn, and most notably nowadays, Johan Kobborg.
