The Barre: Plié
Added 2019-05-24 13:00:06 +0000 UTCTraditionally the first exercise in a ballet class, pliés are also my favorite. It is a slow and expressive exercise; it is the moment in class when you find your feet and your posture and get grounded for everything that is to come. Everything else you were thinking or worrying about when you walked into the studio fades away when the music begins, and you drop into the remembrance: "Oh. I'm a dancer. This is all that matters."
