During demi-plié, which toe alignment is correct for knee tracking?

• A. The big toe
• B. The second toe
• C. The third toe
• D. The fourth toe

Answer: (B)

Knee tracking in demi-plié is kept over the second toe. This alignment helps the leg move in a straight line from hip to ankle even with turnout, keeping the weight centered on the foot and the knee stable. When the knee stays over the second toe, you avoid letting it collapse inward or drift outward, which protects the knee and supports proper turnout from the hips. If the knee shifts toward the big toe or toward the other toes, the line of alignment shifts off the center and the stance becomes unstable, increasing strain. So, the second toe is the correct alignment for knee tracking.
