There is a saying in the
world of real estate that there are three rules to keep in mind when
buying property: location, location, location. This is because you can change a
structure, but you can’t change the neighborhood.
That being said, it occurred
to me that there are also three rules in dance, and three rules in ballet. For dance
in general it would be: posture, posture, posture. But specifically for ballet
the three rules would be: rotate, rotate, rotate.
The reasoning here is
pretty straightforward. Without correct posture, (in any dance genre),
everything else suffers and will be wrong. In ballet, without rotation (from the hip
sockets) everything will suffer and be wrong.
Always remember the
three rules!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret # 26g:
“The three rules of ballet are: rotate, rotate,
rotate.”
