Wacky Wednesday Tight Curl
One of the difficulties that can occur
in a pirouette is that of a loose turning action. It’s like the
difference between a tight curl in your hair or a relaxed curl.
The upward spiral of the pirouette must
be small in circumference, not wide and wonky. Therefore, always imagine a
tight curl when turning. This also helps create the speed needed, which tends
to be slower if the turning circumference is wide – giving the pirouette a
rather warped look. Scary.
And, as always, remember that the nice
tight spiral contains both upward and downward energy.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14bbb:
“Imagine a tight curl, not a loose curl for
pirouettes.”
