Sorryto be awkward but a plie is nothing like squats, it is a control action.

1 Face something to balance yourself with kitchen bench is good.

2 stand up straight, with your feet together.

3 by lifting your toes and parting them you end with yourf eet in first position, balance on balls heels and little toe, feet should not be rolling in or out (v v v important)

4 pretend you have 5p place in between your bum cheeks.

5 press your knees out over your toes trying not to let your heels up, and don't drop your 5p ( I normally go down for 4 and up for 4, when thighs get bit stronger hold for 4 at the bottom, make sure you watch your posture and don't stick your bum out)

this is a demi plie... it can be done with feet apart in second position as well

knew those dance qualifications would come in handyone day

have fun Jamjams x
