Mad Monday Statute

Mad Monday Statute

It is time, once again, for yet another Ballet Statute.  This one is usually known instinctively by anyone who has taken ballet for any time at all.  It states simply:  There is no halfway in ballet.

There is no halfway in anything when it comes to ballet.  No halfway in taking class, no halfway efforts, no halfway extension into a piqué or a relevé – no halfway at all!  And especially no halfway attitude!  (The mental kind - not the ballet position.)

So go for the gusto, pull out all the stops, push to the limit, and any other clichés you can think of!  And anytime the temptation arises to go only halfway – remember Ballet Statute #20!

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Ballet Statue #20:  

“There is no halfway in ballet.”
