Saturday Process Statute


Saturday Process Statute

Ballet training is long, exacting and repetitive. But, as I say to my students, if it were easy to achieve, anyone could do it. And then it wouldn’t be special or unique.

It is the process of ballet training that produces the product of excellent technique. The definition of the word “process” is: A series of actions, changes, or functions bringing about a result.

The process for ballet technique is: the daily class, the repetition of steps, the endless tweaking of every little thing. But it works. The process works, given enough time and passion on the part of the student. The process is so effective it could be sold with an infomercial and an 800 number.

The only requirement is a committed student.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Ballet Statute #48:  
“Good ballet technique is the product of the process.”
