Fun Friday Snooze Alert
In ballet, the correct eye focus is usually slightly above
eye level. See previous blog: http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/2013/10/eye-focus.html This means that dancers seldom focus on the floor. And
sadly, doing so is a very common bad habit.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if
dancers wore a device designed for drivers. One that fits neatly over the ear
and emits a loud beep or some other sound whenever the head drops forward or
down. These handy little items are designed to keep drivers from falling asleep
at the wheel, but could also be used to alert dancers when they drop their eye
focus.
Of course it wouldn’t really be practical, since dancers
move so much. But it is an interesting image to use. Imagine a beep going off
every time a dancer inadvertently looks at the floor!

Ballet Secret #1ww:
“ Imagine wearing a driver’s snooze alert on your ear.”
