Fun Friday Full and Far
When dancers feel insecure their steps and movements become
small and they tend to dance in a tiny space underneath themselves. This prevents
effective movement. All extremities
must stretch to their fullest to engage the muscles and allow them to do their
best work.
Think about how it feels when you “pull back” or “pull in”
because of doubt and insecurity. Yup. That’s right. That’s when that jump or
turn doesn’t work out the way you expected – or, gasp! It causes a fall.
So whenever you dance, remember Full and Far. The
movements must swell to fill the space and the steps must extend far – beyond
the fingers and toes.
Try it. It works!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #7ww:
“Effective movement patterns are full and far.”
