Fun Friday Knee Umbrellas
Ahhh, the problem with pliés is….fill in
the blank. Since pliés
are the most important step in ballet, it helps to solve as many problems here
as you can. One of the most vexing and frequently seen problems is rolling on
the arches (pronation). This is when the little toe comes off the floor and the
knees are no longer aligned over the feet. Scary. More than scary.
To help with this, imagine that your
knees are umbrellas. That’s right. And these umbrellas must always be placed so
that the feet will never get wet in the rain during pliés.
Knee umbrellas!
