Fun Friday Firm
It is important to use pressure against
the floor for many steps. Tendu, dégagé, glissade, assemblé, etc. – the list is endless. But so often dancers just
skim the floor, usually when they are feeling unsure.
If you are having a problem with any
combination of steps, go through them slowly and think about where the downward
(firm) push against gravity should occur. You will probably discover where the
problems are.
Pressing firmly against the floor with a
corresponding upward energy provides the power and resistance needed for the
successful execution of most steps. Use gravity to your advantage! Be firm!

“Let
children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents
and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't
have as much fear.”
