Ballet Secret #14r states: “Imagine a slapping a mosquito off the leading shoulder with the
following arm in a turn.” http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/search?q=mosquito
This is particularly important in sequential pique turns, because there
is a tendency for the following arm to lag behind, putting the dancer
increasing off balance with each turn. Not good.
The following arm in all turns is important! It must stay with the
body, moving in and out in exactly the same way, and in the same position, with
each turn. You aren’t really going to take it as far as slapping a mosquito,
but you get the general idea.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14bb:
“Bring the following arm with you on
piqué turns.”
