Fun Friday Hula Hoop





Fun Friday Hula Hoop

This week I talked about avoiding “pre-surgery” arms, and I’ve also discussed the proper shape and placement of the arms in first (fifth en avant). Here is another way to think about it.

Imagine being inside a hula hoop. The arms are placed on the inside of the hoop, following the curve (preventing pre-surgery and drooping hands). Also, because the hoop encircles the body, it also includes the back – critical muscles to use for correct port de bras.

So imagine fifth en avant of the arms being done inside a hula hoop.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #6yy:
“Imagine the arms in a hula hoop in first (fifth en avant).”

Quote of the Day:

“I advise you to say your dream is possible and then overcome all inconveniences, ignore all the hassles and take a running leap through the hoop, even if it is in flames.”
