Wacky Wednesday Toaster
One of the biggest problems with pas de
chat is maintaining the turn-out, especially on the following leg. The leading
leg is usually okay, but that second leg – whew!
I return again to one of my favorite
images: a toaster. If you imagine your pas de chat jumping into a toaster (one
that is unplugged, of course), then the legs will stay turned out. Otherwise
they won’t fit in the slot.
If several pas de chats are done in a
sequence, you can imagine each one going into the toaster, and then popping out
of the toaster.
