Beginner Ballet Lesson 5: Grand Plie, Degage, Pique | How To Dance Ballet | Free Ballet Classes

Welcome to Lesson 5 of our free ballet course! In this beginner ballet class, we will delve into the beautiful movements of grand plié, battement dégagé, and piqué. Expand your repertoire, refine your technique, and enhance your grace as we progress in our ballet journey together.

Master the art of grand plié as we explore this fundamental movement in all positions. From first position to fifth position, we'll guide you through the proper alignment and execution to achieve a deep and controlled bend of the knees. Strengthen your legs and develop flexibility with this essential ballet exercise.

Discover the elegance of battement dégagé, meaning "disengaged battement." Learn to extend your working leg to the front, side, or back with a fully stretched foot and pointed toes. We'll explore the connections to battement jeté (Russian) and battement glissé (French), developing clarity and precision in your movements.

Immerse yourself in the technique of piqué and explore the quick and sharp movements as you tap your fully pointed foot. Emphasizing precision and clarity, piqué will aid you in mastering turns from the corner.

Discover how the En Croix pattern is utilized in exercises at the barre or in the center of the studio, allowing you to perform steps or combinations to the front, side, back, and return to the side.

Expand your ballet vocabulary with key terms: Devant, A la Seconde, and Derrière. Understand the positions where the working leg is placed in front, to the side, or behind the body, enhancing your versatility and expression in ballet.

As always, we'll conclude the lesson with a simple combination, incorporating the steps we've learned so far. Practice your skills, synchronize your movements, and feel the joy of dancing ballet.
