Super Saturday Flopping Statute
Here we go again with yet another Ballet Statute. Those
things that are strictly enforced and without exception in ballet technique. Yesterday I mentioned this statute in the
blog about glissades: There is no flopping in ballet.
Flopping can take many forms: a flopping foot, flopping arms, flopping
hands, even flopping hair. Not to
mention flopping down on the floor or flopping against the barre. No flopping! All
are prohibited and could provoke a visit from the dreaded Ballet Police, and a
sentence to the Ballet Dungeon.
So guard against flopping. The best way to do this is to send
energy out in all directions. See previous blogs:
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute #30:
“There is no flopping in ballet.”
