Fun Friday Tissue Pack
The problem students have with traveling
bourrées is this: In an effort to travel and gain distance, the feet lose their
lovely fifth position and come apart, making the whole process look rather
clunky. Scary stuff.
A fun prop that most people have is a small, pocket-size package of tissues. Place this pack between the mid-thighs and bourrée without
dropping it. This is a fun game and one that illustrates very quickly when the
feet move too far apart. I’ve heard of some teachers using a thinner object,
like a credit card, but I like the tissues because they are wider, softer and
easier to deal with – especially when dropped.
Think of it as a tissue power-pack.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #20x:
“Use a pocket package of tissues for traveling
bourrées.”

gets you.”
