Fun Friday Flop



Fun Friday Flop

Here we are again on Fun Friday – always a good time to discuss frappés.

The biggest problem with frappés is usually a lack of the appropriate amount of energy. Frappés are the sharp aggressive members of the ballet barre, and they must always appear crisp and clean – never loose or floppy.

I have talked before about how the movement of a frappé stops, but the energy continues, and that the strike happens quickly. If these things don’t happen you get flop-ays not frappés. Very scary.

There are no flop-ay frappés in ballet.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #10i:
“There are no floppy frappés.”

“More than the hits, flops will have an impact on my career. In fact, flops helped me shape my career. They made me look at things from a different angle.”
