Wacky Wednesday Fortunes


Wacky Wednesday Fortunes

You probably remember Ballet Secret #9bRemember to kiss the knees at the bottom of a port de bras forward.  Well, here is a new way to think about that upside down position.

Imagine that someone taped a paper fortune from a fortune cookie on your knees.  It is stuck there upside down so you can read it when you port de bra forward.  In order to do this your head must be in the correct, relaxed neck posture.  If the neck is not relaxed, the chin will be lifted and the eyes will be unable to focus on the fortune.

And you wouldn’t want to miss out on knowing your fortune for the day.  So in a port de bras forward, kiss your knees and read your fortune.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Secret #9e:  
Imagine a paper fortune from a fortune cookie taped to your knees.  Read it when you perform a port de bras forward.”

Quote of the Day:
““Would you like to know your future?
If your answer is yes, think again. Not knowing is the greatest life motivator.
So enjoy, endure, survive each moment as it comes to you in its proper sequence -- a surprise.”
