Mad Monday Foot Focus
You will remember Ballet Secret #14e: “The leading foot in a chaîné must always
fall in line with the intended ending location.” Today’s idea is
similar.
During a series of chaîné turns, there
is a tendency for the straight-across-the-room (or stage) path to deviate, or
get wonky. Ballet Secret #14e will
help, as will today’s Ballet Secret
14kkk: Use the leading foot as a reminder to spot and re-intensify the
focus. Dizziness results when the eye focus disappears into a fog. Scary.
Especially onstage.
The leading foot is a great reminder, not
only in rhythm and in placement of the foot in a line leading to the
destination, but also a reminder to concentrate intensely on the spotting
focus.
Today’s Link of the Day provides other tips for chaînés.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14kk:
“The leading foot in chaînés
coordinates with the spotting of the head.”
