Alright so now let’s try a warrior three with a plie. This is a more advanced version. Make sure you get the full warrior before you get into a warrior three with the plie. And plie if you are doing ballet is just a little bending of the knees. It's a tiny bend, not a big bend, protect your knees at all costs. Setting up for your warrior three, bring the leg back and the arms forward. Now as you bend your supporting leg you really need to stretch the hands forward and the leg to the back. Tiny plie and lengthen, tiny plie there's your bend and come back to straight. Tiny plie and back to straight. Keep in mind that your core is really working whenever you do this. As the leg bends, keep it a tiny bend, stretch away from your core, leg going in one direction, head the other. As you do this it's going to engage more through your core, through your back and hold the balance. Don't go for height, go for length, easy does it. If you feel any uncomfortableness in your knees, stop. Alright and that's how you do your warrior three with a plie.
