Saturday Trip Superstition



Saturday Trip Superstition

In the category of “Things That Are Obvious” comes today’s superstition: It is bad luck to trip over something, especially for dancers.

This comes from the book:  What They Say in New England, a book published in 1896. But there is a remedy should you be so unlucky, and that is to go back and walk safely over the item that tripped you. But if you tripped over a stone, you must go back and touch it.

Of course, most dancers I know don’t usually trip over an actual physical object. We tend to trip over nothing. I don’t know if there’s a remedy for that.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Superstition #151:
“It is bad luck to trip over something.”
