Tuesday Little Toe Velcro
The poor supporting leg. It is so often forgotten or neglected. All the work and concentration goes toward the working leg and the
supporting leg is left to its own devices. Not good.
When the standing leg is ignored, the most common problem is
excessive pronation: the foot rolls forward and the little toe comes off the
floor. Sometimes it is off the floor a little bit, sometimes a lot, but either
way is incorrect.
So imagine a tiny piece of Velcro under the little toe. Keep
it firmly attached to the floor whenever that foot is acting as the supporting
foot.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #1mm:
“Imagine a piece of
Velcro under the little toe.”
