Plies in Advanced Ballet Dancing

Video Transcript

Okay, so the first thing we are going to learn here, is the plies, with some advanced concepts, pling first position starts in that first position we talked about the toes turned out from the hip socket, the arms are in an unbaugh position. You can use a table if you don't have a bar or, something that is about hip height or higher, this will be a good position, it also work for just some support. When you do plie from first position, there's a demi plie where the heels stay on the ground and, this works the outer rotater to the lower glucks and the inner thighs, which are very important for a lot more difficult more advanced steps that the dancers are going to be doing later. It's good for warm up. And then a straighten, and usually there will be two, and a grande plie, which is all the way down. Pling means to bend, but it doesn't necessarily mean bend and sit. It should be a continual motion of bending and coming back up. The same thing in the second position here, the heels are underneath the hips the arm is in that allinsucome, lets add some , port de bras and straighten, thinking about the outer rotaters using the arm, and a grande plie you can add some torso and some gesture. Let's go to fourth position. Demi and straighten, demi and straight, grande plie, here you want to keep that knee out, not dropping, both the heels are out, and coming up into fifth.
