Pliés Ballet Class

Lexi Romero teaches a foundational ballet pliés barre class with assistant Ava Labella, walking through demi-plié and grand plié in first, second, fourth, and fifth positions with arm port de bras layered in. Students learn how the heels stay grounded in second but release in first and fifth grand plié, how to engage the inner thighs to squeeze back up, and how to keep shoulders, hips, knees, and toes in line through every descent. Lexi runs the full barre on both sides with counts, then breaks down the most common form mistakes (knees over toes, lifting heels too early in second) using Ava as a side-view demonstration. Ideal for beginner ballet students wanting to clean up plié alignment, master the difference between demi and grand plié, and build the leg strength every barre exercise depends on.
