BASIC BALLET STEPS
Basic ballet steps needed to know?
I’m new to ballet and I would like to know the 10 basic steps or turns you should know how to do in order to start?
im pretty new to it as well, but ive had some experience. if possible, pick up your positions, work on your turnout. remind yourself to point your toes. point them hard! youll get monkey cramps at first, but they will subside. also practice flexing your feet. stretch, work on your flexibility. work on your french vocab! some of it still blows me out of the water! some basic things to know: changements (shange-mahz), battements (bat-mahz), developpe (dayv-law-PAY), echappe (a-shuh-PAY), extensions, pirouettes, arabesque poses (ara -besk), rond de jambes (rond dee shambes), pas de bourree (pa duh boray), pique (pee kay), and of course, one of the biggest parts of ballet, be able to plie (plee-ay) (simply bending the knees). the american ballet theatre has an amazing dictionary online with all of your terms and videos to illustrate them. go to this link =] http://www.abt.org/education/dictionary/
