Basic Ballet Exercises

A bare is not necessary if you would like to do ballet exercises at home. You can use the back of a chair for this. Just make sure that the support is sturdy and the office stationers are off it.

Plie is one of the basic exercises for ballet. It can help you with quite a few ballet positions. There are two ways to do the plie exercise.

To do the first variation of the plie exercise which is Demi Plie, you have to stand duck toeing out, making your heels touch each other. Now hold the back of your chair for support. Make sure that your elbows are locked while holding the chair and do not slouch to one side. Always keep your back straight and then start bending your knees slowly, in a way that your knees are pointed to opposite directions. Do not let the knees cross over the feet.

For the second type of demi plie exercise, you have to place your feet about a feet away from each other while duck toeing out, just like before. Hold onto the back of the chair, like earlier and start bending your knees slowly while ensuring that your knees do not cross your feet.

Full Plie is a very good exercise for beginners. The first way of doing this exercise is much similar to the method of the first demi plie exercise. The major difference lies in level of bending your knees. For full plie bend your knees enough to make your buttocks reach your heels, or as much as possible.

In the second method of doing the full plie which is similar to the technique of the second exercise of demi plie, you have to bend your knees enough to make your thighs parallel with the floor, or as much possible.

Warming up your body before exercising is a must, stretching is very good before exercising for ballet.
