National Pancake Day
Yes, it is National Pancake Day! I don’t have any images at the moment that specifically relate to
pancakes, but there is the beautiful style of tutu that’s often called the
“pancake tutu”.
However, many people put honey or syrup on their
pancakes. And honey is a wonderful image
for movement. In order to create a
lovely flow of movement, dancers should imagine that they are moving through
honey or syrup. This provides resistance
– imaginary perhaps – but very effective resistance nonetheless.
Without resistance, the arms and legs look limp and
droopy. And resistance upward is there
all the time especially as it relates to resisting
gravity. Gravity can’t be turned
off.
So imagine dancing through honey!
