Fun Friday Feather
An image that works well for teaching
slow, adagio type movements to children is this one: Move like a feather falling to earth. This can also be a great prop
image if you bring an actual feather or something similar into the classrrom.
Students can observe how a feather moves
as it drifts downward and then imitate this falling to earth movement with
their bodies. It’s both fun and educational for them. They learn how to move
slowly and deliberately through space.
And, as with so many things, this image
works well for more advanced students too.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #11p:
