Fun Friday Ingredients
If you’ve ever baked a cake or cookies
and accidentally mistook the canister of salt for the one filled with sugar you
know how horrible a small error can be. Yuck! Ballet is like that: simple
ingredients like plié, tendu, etc. must be as perfect as possible so you don’t
ruin the finished “cake”.
I’ve talked about this before – how ballet
is like a recipe: http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/search?q=recipe
But this goes even further – back to the
earliest, most basic steps. The sugar, if you will. The reason dancers practice
so consistently, and do a ballet barre daily is to prevent any bad habits in
the basic steps and to make them as beautifully perfect as possible.
It sounds daunting, but it really isn’t.
Like any habit pattern, it gets easier with time, and in ballet, the results
speak for themselves!
