Fun Friday Tutu Setting



Fun Friday Tutu Setting

Another way to keep the hips level and square is to imagine wearing a tutu. This isn’t a great image for the gentlemen, but they can still get the idea.

Imagine wearing a tutu, but this one is set all around on top with fine china and silver.  Just the sort of place setting you’d have on a special holiday, like Christmas.  The dancer’s goal is to maintain the posture in such a way so that none of the china will slide off and break.

Of course, the china and silver magically disappear during movements like port de bra forward or back.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Secret #1r:  
Imagine wearing a tutu set with lots of fine china and silver on top.”
