Fun Friday Plié End
Here is another way to think about pliés
– especially pliés that serve as a preparation for pirouettes. Think of this: Go to the end of the plié.
That’s right. Be sure to go all the way down before you come up. It
sounds simple but so often plié preparations are tense and short – we used to
call them “creaky pliés”. You are not trying to save part of the plié for
later. Use it all!
In previous blogs I’ve talked about
making your pliés juicy and that a plié is a movement not a position. These are
all ways to make pliés work effectively.

Quote of the Day:
“You have
to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of
fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you
into experience and into writing.”
