Fun Friday Statute




Fun Friday Statute
Yes, here we go again with yet another “There is no….” statute!  Today’s offering:  “There is no drooping in ballet.”  That’s right, none.  Even when the arms are being used in the style of the 1800s, they don’t droop because there is always energy in the port de bras.  Drooping means succumbing to gravity.
The most common things that tend to droop are the elbows.  But they have lots of company.  Drooping posture, drooping head, drooping foot in passé, etc.  The list is endless.  Nothing should droop.  The energy is always upward, downward and out ward (as discussed in previous blogs), therefore there is no room for drooping.  Ever.  At all.  Simple! 

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Statute # 18:
“There is no drooping in ballet.”
