Fun Friday and Trap Doors
In the same category as yesterday’s post, I’m going to
continue the discussion on resisting gravity, or pulling up. Here is the Fun Friday thought: What if a dancer doesn’t pull up and gravity
takes over and a trap door opens and they are pulled down all the way below the
ground?! If that could actually happen, then pulling away from gravity would be a necessity –
which it is anyway, to prevent slumping postures. And slumping posture is something every dance
teacher sees on a daily basis.
So pretend that pulling up is essential because otherwise
the floor opens, and the dancer is propelled downward – perhaps for miles –
into the “ballet dungeon”. Only bread
and water to eat, and who knows how dark it must be! The ballet dungeon will be discussed more
fully in a future post.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #1p:
“If there is no
resistance to gravity, the trap door will open and the dancer will be sucked
down below the floor into the ballet dungeon.”

Defeat is when you refuse to get up.”
