Fun Friday Equal Resistance
There are many times when the familiar concept
of equal-and-opposite energy is used in partnering. In fact, it is critical for
the success of any pas de deux.
Take a promenade for example. The male
dancer exerts an upward pressure with his hand which is matched by a downward
pressure from the ballerina. Without this equal resistance the promenade is
doomed. This matched energy exists in many, many other areas of pas de deux work.
There is also this more ephemeral aspect
as stated in this article https://www.dancemagazine.com/partnering-tips-for-women-2490611351.html
in Pointe magazine: “Hands touching are a unique mechanism
sending for messages about balance between bodies.”
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Partnering Secret #27i:
“There is an equal and
opposite energy between partners.”
