Fun Friday Sand Roadways



Fun Friday Sand Roadways

Sometimes striking the floor correctly in a frappé can be challenging. Either the foot misses the floor entirely (gasp!), or the strike is too close to the supporting foot (Ouch!). Not good.

But if you could stand on a floor covered with a light dusting of sand, the path of the frappés (front, side and back) would be clearly seen. They would look like roadways in the sand.

These roadways should be straight extend in the proper direction. Any deviation would become immediately obvious. So try imagining frappés in the sand.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #10f:
“ Imagine creating sand roadways with each frappé.”
