Fun Friday Fold
Ahh those wonderful brisés! Dancers love
them – not. I’m not sure why, but it may be because the beating is done in a
unique position. And that position is one of the keys to success.
In a brisé, the body is folded. That’s
right, folded. The upper body is inclined forward with a slight contraction in
the abdominals, while the legs come off the floor at an angle that matches the
angle of the upper body – essentially folded.
The upper body is similar to the
position in a standard jeté, with an up-and-over posture. This, along with a
strong plié and brush are the elements of a successful brisé.

Quote of the Day:
“I wrote
for nearly six hours. When I stopped, the dark mood, as if by magic, had folded
its cloak and gone away.
