Kiniseology of a plie
258
Depending on the advancement of the movement, your head during the demi plie your head should follow the movement of the hand and arm.
Movements of the head:
- right/ left lateral rotation
- right/ left lateral tilt
Your arm movement also depends on the advancement of the movement.
Position of the arm:
- lateral abduction
- slight flexion in the elbow and wrist
- slight supination in the wrist
Movement of the arm:
- pronation of the wrist
- extension of the elbow
- adduction of the arm
- slight flextion of the elbow/ wrist
- abduction in the sagital plane
- lateral rotation in the transverse plane to the starting position
The Pelvis
Your pelvis should stay in anatomical position until you pass your demi plie.
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint which means it has the ability to circumvent when the muscles are flexible enough.
Hip Joint Position:
- femur externally rotated
Movements of the hip:
- flexion in the hip in the frontal plane
- as you deepen the plie the flexion increases
- extension of the joint in the frontal plane
The knee is classified as a hinge joint although it has some gliding action as well.
Movement of the knee:
- flexion
- extension
The Dance Journal:
- popping sound/ feeling in your hip or knee is very dangerous.
- stretching/ physical therapy is important for healthy plies.
Popping Sounds in hips or knee:
- occurs with extreme flexion of hip or knee
- occurs due to motion of tensor fascia latae and the iliotibial band
- this connects from the greater trochanter of the femur and the tibial tuberosity of the fibula.
- Tensor fascia latae moves over greater trochanter and lateral condyle
The ankle is a complex joint because it is made up of many condular joints.
Movements of the ankle:
- external rotation
- dorsal flexion
- plantar flexion
