Fun Friday Down and Out
If things aren’t working well in class
lately, here’s an idea. Think down and
out for every combination you do.
This, of course, is part of the two-way
energy idea that I talk a lot about, but sometimes it is helpful to use this down and out idea as a theme for an
entire class. Think about pressing down into the floor and then outward into a:
tendu, degagé, rond de jambe, grand battement…and that’s only part of the
barre. Imagine what you can do in the center: glissade, chassé, assemblé, grand
jeté…etc. etc. etc.
Down and out, therefore, means something
entirely different in ballet than in boxing.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #7uuu:
“When in doubt, think ‘down and out’.”
