Ballet Webb: Saturday Crossed Statute

Saturday Crossed Statute

Closing your feet in fifth position can often be more of closing your feet in third. Now this would be perfectly acceptable if third was the goal, but 99.9% of the time, it isn’t.

But wait! There is a Ballet Statute that will guarantee your feet will end up in fifth and not third. It is simple: If you think of crossing your thighs, your feet will cross. This never fails because your feet are firmly attached to your legs.

It is also another example of top-down thinking, as opposed to bottom-up thinking (like correct turn-out, for example).

Now your feet will always end up in fifth and not third!

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

Ballet Statute #177:

“If you cross your thighs, your feet will cross.”
