Mad Monday Massage
Tendues are more than just a stretch of
the ankles and/or the feet. All parts of the foot from the ankles to the toes
are active, even aggressive, participants. And usually it is the toes that come
up short.
Think about what it’s like to have a
deep massage. Now imagine your toes massaging the floor like that. Pressing
deeply downward as the foot slides out. The toes leave the floor reluctantly as
the foot comes into a full stretch – and they never leave the floor completely.
Then, on the way back the process
reverses. Deep tendu massage!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #4z:
“Imagine massaging the floor with your toes as you do
tendues.”
