Sec Position Plié with Arm Sweeping

Setup

• Begin by standing in a wide stance, wider than shoulder-width, with your toes turned out to approximately 45 degrees.

• Extend both arms overhead, fingers active and elongated.

Execution

• Lower your hips by bending your knees, ensuring your knees track directly over your second toes. Your torso should remain upright and central throughout the movement.

• While in the deep plié position, initiate the arm sweep: Inhale as you guide one arm down and across your body while the other maintains an upward reach.

• Using your core, exhale as you side-bend gently, following the movement of your arm.

• Return your arm to the original overhead position as you squeeze your glutes and press back up to the starting standing position.

• Alternate sides for each subsequent plié representative of the fluid swinging motion.
