Ballet movements

Ballet movements are precise, disciplined actions that emphasize balance, control, and grace. Basic steps include plié (bending knees), which helps with stability; tendu (stretched leg), extending the foot along the floor; and relevé (rising onto the toes), enhancing balance and elevation. Turns like pirouettes spin the dancer smoothly on one foot, while jumps such as sauté elevate in the air. These movements are executed with clean lines, alignment, and fluidity, creating an elegant flow. Ballet combines technical skills with expressive artistry, allowing dancers to tell stories and evoke emotion through their body movements.
