Wacky Wednesday Bull’s Eye Bandana
Common problems in dance include elbows
that droop and knees that don’t always face in the correct direction. We have
all experienced, or know about these things. Well, here’s a fun way to draw
attention to these areas that will aid in correcting them:
Take a light-colored bandana or piece of
fabric and, using a permanent marker, draw a bulls-eye or a regular eye on it.
Now tie the bandana on the elbow with the eye facing back when the arms are in
second. Or, tie it around the knee with the eye looking out in the correct
turnout alignment.
Each of these will help bring awareness
to the proper placement of the arms and legs.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #20dd:
“Tie a bull’s-eye bandana around problem areas of the
body.”
