Wacky Wednesday Fit to be Tied
Fouettés are difficult, but fun to do. There are many
secrets and tips to make them work more efficiently, and here is one:
Imagine that the working leg and working arm are loosely tied together. This way, they
must work together during the opening to second and the coming in to passé. This
is important. Often the major problem in a series of fouettés is a lack of
coordination between the arms and the legs.
Start by practicing the movement of the tied-together arm
and leg without turning. When this feels comfortable, add the turns.
Have fun with your fouettés!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #14aa:
“Imagine tying the
working arm and leg together (loosely) in fouettés.”
