Madcap Monday Smartphone



Madcap Monday Smartphone

I’ve talked about how the torso needs to solid, and most of the time, unmoving. Remember the cereal box image? Well, here’s a new, and perhaps, a more current one.

Imagine your torso as a giant Smartphone- solid and rectangular and immovable and uncrushable. All the attributes needed for a well-aligned body. It won’t twist or squash and it is always available. Just like a Smart phone.

Especially during turning movements, imagine your giant Smartphone. It will help your pirouettes stay centered.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #1mmm:  
“Imagine the torso being as solid as a giant Smartphone.”
