Wacky Wednesday Caramel
Yesterday was National Chocolate Caramel Day.
Seriously. This made me think of how a plié – when performed perfectly –
melts downward smoothly like the center of a chocolate caramel. It has
resistance, but not too much.
Doing a plié the wrong way involves a jerky, abrupt movement. Getting to the base of the plié too fast,
and/or dropping into it. This loses all the stored potential of the step for
cushioning and impetus. Scary.
Instead, just think of the center of a
chocolate caramel whenever you plié!
