Wacky Wednesday and Ballet Trolls

Wacky Wednesday and Ballet Trolls

All dancers have some: Ballet Trolls. Those irritating beings that crop up everywhere, or so it seems, encouraging you to do things incorrectly, incompletely, or lazily. They are designers of destruction and you are probably familiar with them.

Ballet Trolls are ugly, but compelling and convincing. They can make falling out of a pirouette sound like the most fun thing in the world, and even make you desire it. They do this for many other things in dance too. That’s their evil magic. They are especially strong when you are tired, because you can’t fight them off as easily. So there they sit, hunched down on your shoulders, whispering in your ear. Scary.

Simply being aware of them is a dancer’s best defense. Whenever you feel their gnarled feet digging into your shoulder, and their words beginning to sound in your head, shake them off! Do it right away and you’ll be free – at least temporarily – of the Ballet Trolls.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Ballet Secret #21g:  
Beware of the Ballet Trolls.”
