Wednesday 6 O’clock
Every dancer
wants to achieve a perfect “6 o’clock penchée”. As the name implies, this
position creates a perpendicular line from the arabesque (working) leg down
through the supporting leg.
The problem
many dancers have goes back to that two-way energy idea again. All their energy
is focused on the leg that’s up and
all that “up” energy unbalances everything if there isn’t an equal energy being
sent down through the floor.
Often creating
this downward energy is all that is needed for a dancer to achieve the perfect penchée.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #21i:
“A 6 o’clock
penchée requires as much energy in the standing leg as in the working leg.”
