Technical Tuesday Tenet
One of the most awe-inspiring things about dancers is their
flexibility. It is something every audience member notices and yet it is one of
the simplest things to achieve, given enough time and effort. It isn’t rocket
science.
The fact of the matter is, if you stretch, you will get
stretched. Unless there is some physical abnormality, this tenet is true. Some
dancers take longer than others to achieve the same degree of flexibility, but
if they stretch, they will get stretched.
So make stretching every day a priority and you will soon
begin to see your extension improve. The key is to stretch a teeny bit further
every day. I’ve talked about this before.
If you stretch, you will get stretched.
Not many things in life are that absolute.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #16o:
“If you stretch, you will get stretched.”
