Saturday Standard Silly
In the course of every ballet class,
there are statements, comments and directives that dancers understand
completely, but that leave the average person scratching their head.
For example: “Don’t pull off your leg”.
Think about it. As one of my adults students replied with a grimace as he
stretched: “That’s just what it feels like
I’m doing…”
Here’s one: “Get your eyes off the
floor.” Hmmm. I don’t really want to think about that. Is that what the cat in the picture above is trying to accomplish?
And another: “Get out of the mirror.” Alice Through the Looking Glass, anyone?
And yet another: “Stretch your bottom
leg.” Most people would say that they are both
on the bottom, but dancers – well – are different.
There are many others you can probably
think of…

understand.”
