Ballet for Scoliosis Part 2: Doorway Exercise

This Ballet for Scoliosis post will be performed primarily in 4th position. I decided that this is going to a series of exercises for scoliosis that relate to ballet. I'm thinking that possibilities are probably virtually endless!

Ballet for Scoliosis Part 2: 

1. Find a sturdy doorframe to stand under to hold onto the edges of while performing the plie.
2. Stand in the center under the doorframe and put your arms up onto the sides with the hands clasping the doors for stability.

3. Place the feet in 5th position as pictured below:

3. While gently holding onto the door frame for support, slowly bend the knees to perform a demmi plie in 5th position. 

4. Then perform a grand plie as pictured below:

5. Switch feet and perform on the other side.

If you can find a doorframe in front of a mirror, that would be ideal because you are able to see which hip is moving up or down when you are performing the plie. 

Plie away, ladies!
