Saturday Pez Statute
Earlier this week I talked about how the head in a cambré should
never drop backwards. It should follow an arc-like pattern to protect the more
delicate vertebrae of the neck – and to look lovely.
To help with this, one of my students shared this idea that
she heard from one of my colleagues: No
Pez Heads! That’s right. Those iconic candy containers where the head
portion drops backward to reveal the sweets inside. These items are so famous
they were even featured on a episode of Seinfeld.
It is the perfect image for a very common problem. No Pez
heads, please.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute #84:
“There are no Pez heads in ballet.”
