Wild Weds Rocket Blast
I’ve talked about how the feet work when leaving the floor –
like peeling a stamp off an envelope or rolling through the foot. This becomes even more important when
jumping.
The feet are the last thing that propels the dancer into
space. It is as if the feet are the
rockets that launch the astronaut (dancer) into orbit. With this in mind, it helps to picture each
toe as an individual rocket booster complete with flames shooting out the back. The more power in the boosters, the greater
the lift.
Whooooosh! A perfect
lift-off!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #16c:
“When jumping, imagine
the toes as fiery rocket boosters.”

“If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly
won’t. Belief is the ignition switch
that gets you off the launching pad.”
