Fun Friday Spotlight
Earlier this month I talked about not
dropping the chest during pliés.
This “chest caving” posture is also common in many other things in ballet.
Since the upper chest is almost always
open (never caved in), it helps to imagine a spotlight coming down from above
and shining onto and across your upper chest. Feel the warmth of this light
across your collar bones. If you were wearing a necklace it would catch the
light and sparkle brilliantly.
This light is always shining on your
upper chest area, except when you are doing a cambré or something similar.
Let the light shine!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Secret #16mm:
“Imagine a spotlight shining down on your chest.”
