Wild Wednesday Smartphone
Yesterday I talked about pulling up into relevé by using two
imaginary ropes. I also mentioned that this image helps keep the torso in one
piece during turns – an important thing for successful pirouettes. Unfortunately, a disjointed torso is a common
problem.
Therefore, here is another image for that problematic torso:
Imagine the torso as a giant Smartphone – nice and solid. On each turn, the
display side of the phone comes to the front in one piece, so the information on it can be read. At no time does
the phone twist or break.
So for solid, successful pirouettes, picture the torso as a
Smartphone and flash the display to the audience on each turn.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #14u:
“Imagine the torso
as a Smartphone so it will stay in one piece during turns.”
