Wacky Wednesday Drone
Those new drones are pretty interesting things. They allow a
bird’s eye view of many things, providing a perspective that may not have been
seen before.
It made me think of cambrés and how they allow a dancer a
permitted glimpse of their feet in fifth position. A drone’s eye view, if you
will. Since dance technique prohibits looking down directly at the feet, this
is a special thing.
This brief moment, before the dancer “kisses their knee”,
gives them a chance to make sure the fifth position is correct – with no
rolling on the arches, or clenched toes, etc. A drone moment.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #22e
“Think of a cambré (port de
bra forward) as a drone’s eye view to check the placement and turn-out of fifth
position.”
