Saturday Shortcut Statute
There are no shortcuts in ballet. Unless, of course you
count Ballet Secrets. I guess those
might be a kind of shortcut. But other than that, there are no shortcuts. If
there were shortcuts, believe me, dancers would have found them.
Ballet is the great equalizer. Few, if any, dancers have
everything. If you have flexibility, you lack strength; if you are strong, you
lack flexibility. No one has it all. Therefore everyone has to work, push,
forge ahead with determination. There are no shortcuts.
Be thankful for the balletic gifts you have, and work on
those you don’t have. Don’t take the common shortcut of using only those things
you have and ignoring the others. It won’t work. There are no shortcuts in
ballet.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute #89:
“There are no shortcuts in ballet.”
