Beginner Ballet Series - Plies -

Hey guys today we are breaking down plies! Plies is one of the first steps you learn in ballet and will appear at the beginning,middle or end of most steps.
There is so much to say about plie as it such a dynamic move with many different things to think about. I considered breaking this video into two videos and I'd love to hear if you prefer one longer video or two shorter videos? Let me know in the comments below!

I'm watching this video to practice my Rollerskating transition position, which looks exactly like a plie...😊👍🏼⛸...I'm having issues having my feet point opposite direction 😅😭 idk if it's because I have "bowed" legs?😭😅...but I'll keep practicing 😎😆🤙🏻💯 thank you for sharing this video tutorial 👍🏼

[@TheWholePointe]

Sweet! I do think bow legs could contribute that but you can definitely train the muscles and work with it. When doing the transition are you supposed to be parallel or turned out like in the ballet 1st position?

[@Alx0713]

The Whole Pointe thank you for your reply 😊👍🏼...yes, definitely is not impossible even with my bowed legs😆😆😊😊...when transitioning from Foward to backwards while rollerskating I have to have my feet looking the opposite way from each other (almost like a penguin type position lol...idk if that makes sense 😅) so I feel it sort of looks like the plie position in ballet...it definitely helps me to get used to that position 💯😊👍🏼

I’m a beginner, and my turnout is good, but I can’t do a relevé because my feet don’t end up in the same place. Any tips? Great video, by the way. 😊☺️

[@TheWholePointe]

I hope it was helpful! I want to make sure I am visualizing this correctly since it is hard to always tell with text. Do you mean that when you releve your heels move and don't stay turned out? Let me know a little more detail or even feel free to send me a video - I'd love to help!

[@emily-yr6qr]

The Whole Pointe Yes, my heels don’t stay turned out after the jump.

[@TheWholePointe]

hey sorry it has taken so long to reply! Do you feel like this happens in every position? I just made a video on sous -sus that I will post soon, hope it will be helpful!

[@emily-yr6qr]

The Whole Pointe Ok, thanks! No, it only happens in 1st and 2nd position.
