What is a "plié"?
A plié is a fundamental ballet movement where the dancer bends their knees while keeping their feet in a specific position, such as parallel or turned out. This movement is performed by lowering the body while maintaining an upright torso. Pliés are used to build strength and flexibility in the legs, and they help dancers prepare for jumps, turns, and other movements. The plié is essential for achieving smooth, controlled transitions and maintaining proper alignment in ballet and other dance styles.
