Fun Friday Vroom
Dancers are often told that the brush of
the working foot in grand battement is important. They may not always know why,
but they hear this directive quite often.
The under-circle action of the working
foot against the floor provides the impetus (push) for the grand battement. Try
the battement without brushing the foot and you’ll feel the difference.
To make the brush more fun and
effective, imagine the vroom sound an
engine makes as it revs up, ready for speed. Now apply that sound to the brush
of the grand battement. Vroom, vroom!
Have a fun Friday!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #12h:
“Imagine making a vroom sound as the foot brushes the
floor in grand battement.”
