Fun Friday Wind Up
You will remember Ballet Secret #3e: “Rotate the piqué leg a little bit extra
right before stepping onto it.” Here
is another way to think about this.
If you’ve ever owned an antique wind-up
clock, you know how it works. With a key, you wind it up weekly and it keeps
time for seven or eight days. Now, imagine your turn-out winding up gently like
the key in the old clock. Not too tight – just enough to be effective.
And right before a piqué, “wind” (turn out) the piqué leg just a teeny bit extra before you step onto it.
This will provide a very secure position.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Secret #3aa:
“Imagine your leg turning out just a bit more – like winding
an old clock.”
