Sending Statute
This is a great all-purpose,
important Ballet Statute: Energy is
always being sent out in multiple directions. In other words, when in
doubt, send it out!
I’ve talked many times about two-way
energy, and this is usually the easiest way to feel oppositional energy. But
the truth is, energy is going in more
than two directions most of the time.
When a dancer is having difficulty
with any step, or series of movements, it is helpful to consider where the
energy pattern is lacking. Correcting and/or equalizing the energy flow is
often all that is needed.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Statute #90:
“Energy is always being sent out in multiple
directions.”

Quote of the Day:
“Climb the
mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as
sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the
leaves of Autumn.”
