Fondu

pronunciation: fahn-doo

translation: "sinking down" or "melted"

A lowering of the body made by bending the knee of the standing leg. It is as if you are performing a plié on a single leg.  If you think of a plié being for two legs, a fondu is the same, just for one. Be sure to keep the torso upright and your standing knee in line with your standing toes!
