Fun Friday Ironed







Fun Friday Ironed

I’ve talked quite a bit about how the torso needs to be straight, square and immovable during a pirouette (or promenade) in passé. Here is an image that can help with this.

Imagine your lower body - in passé - from the armpits down, being ironed. Nice and flat and smooth. This is the position the turn or promenade is performed in – with no excessive movements.

Picture this any time you pirouette and it will make it easier.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #14gg:
 “Imagine your lower body being ironed.”
