Saturday Statute Re-Pliés
Today’s Ballet Statute is related to Ballet Statute #97: “There is no stopping in a grand plié.”
There is also no stopping at the bottom in a demi-plié, and that’s because when stopping
occurs it forces the dancer to “re-plié”, that is, plié again. Not good. There
is no such step as a “re-plié”, and for good reason.
When a dancer has to plié again it ruins the impetus that should have
been generated by the first plié. And, it simply makes more work for the dancer
overall. And, it doesn’t look good…I could go on but you get the idea.
Only one plié to a customer. No more “re-pliés”,
please.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute # 98:
“There are no “re-pliés”
in ballet.”
