Mad Monday Constant
We all know that turn-out is the hallmark of ballet. It is
fussed over, forced (gasp!), lamented, and hopefully, safely achieved and
developed.
One important point is this: turn-out is constant. It doesn’t
wink in and out like a shaky electrical connection. As long as the dancer is
dancing, turn-out is constant, like a rotating CD or record. Never stopping,
ever moving.
Imagine “turning on the turn-out” when the dancing starts
and don’t turn it off until the dancing is finished.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #3w:
“Turn-out is constant, like a rotating CD or record.”
