Mad Monday Bookends
Here is another way to think about pliés
and jumps.
We all know how important it is to land a
jump in a good plié (anything else is really scary). But sometimes the initiating plié isn’t given the care and
respect it deserves to produce a good jump in the first place.
Therefore, think of pliés as bookends for any jump. There must be one
before and one after each jump- and they are equally important. Forgetting
either one produces the same result as having only a single bookend try to support
a line of books – crash!
Jump bookends!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Secret #15fff:
“For jumps, remember plié bookends.”
