Nearly all of them would write; Demi Plie', Grande Plie', Tondu, etc. They might be in slightly different orders at times, but more over, everyone would have the same outline. On the other hand. If you asked 10 of the top Modern Dance teachers to write down a list of the first 10 exercise in a Modern Class, more over, they would all be different.
