Super Saturday Kicking Statute
In a dance class, legs and arms are flying. This is a good
thing. Because of this, dancers learn in their very first class how to maintain
their “personal space” or “personal bubble”. This is so they are always a safe
distance from anyone else in the classroom.
The problem most often occurs when dancers are doing steps
like grand battement derrière, or piqués to arabesque. In the heat of the
moment they forget about maintaining the space behind them (gasp!), and someone gets kicked (Sob!).
Of course, part of the responsibility also lies with the
person behind the kicking dancer – for self preservation, dancers must always
be aware of what is going on around them.
So remember Ballet
Statute #46: “ Never bump, hit,
punch, or kick another person in the room.”
This statute would be a great one for life as well.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute #46:
“ Never bump, hit, punch, or kick another person in the room.”
