This video builds on the Rond de jambe covered in early videos. The Rond de jambe en plié, involves the working leg circles with the toes on the ground while the supporting leg is in a plié. It will help you better understand turnout and how to move the working leg freely with strength and precision. It also aids in developing coordination throughout the body.
In this lesson you will learn:
- how to maintain the correct placement of the hips and pelvis in a Rond de jambe en plié
- how to do a Rond de Jambe en plié en dehors and en dedans
- to connect both legs and both sides at the same time
