Pliés Ballet Class

In the second class of her ballet foundations series, Lexi Romero takes dancers to the barre to master the plié, working alongside her assistant Ava. She breaks down the demi-plié and grand plié in first, second, fourth, and fifth positions, weaving in tendu, a rond de jambe into fourth, and a sous-sus rise, all set to music on both sides. Throughout, Lexi drills the details that keep ballet safe and clean: knees tracking over the toes, heels staying grounded until the grand plié, square shoulders and hips, and a constant lift out of the supporting leg. A closing recap zooms in on proper plié alignment and how to release the heels in a grand plié. Built for beginners ready to build strength and control at the barre.
