Murphy Statute
Most people
are familiar with Murphy’s Law: If
anything can go wrong it will, and at the worst possible moment.” I
hesitate to apply it to dance, although I have seen occasional evidence of it.
There are,
however, other versions of Murphy’s Law that happen a lot. Today’s example is a case in point (no pun intended). The best balances you do will occur in your
kitchen when you are alone.
This has
been a subject of speculation among my dancer friends, since all of us have
experienced this phenomenon. Perhaps there is something about the metal
appliances? The small space? The smell of food? I don’t know. It is most likely
because one’s own kitchen is a place where we relax and therefore are better
able to achieve things. Essentially, it’s a worry-free zone.
Now, if we
could just recreate that zone in the classroom…
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Statute #101:
“The
best balances always occur in your kitchen.”

Quote of the Day:
“The place I
like best in this world is the kitchen. No matter where it is, no matter what
kind, if it’s a kitchen, if it’s a place where they make food, it’s fine with
me. Ideally it should be well broken in. Lots of tea towels, dry and
immaculate. Where tile catching the light (ting! Ting!)”
