Super Saturday One Good Turn
There are many traditions in classical ballet, and I have covered
several of them in this blog. Here is
another one, Secret #7z: “When changing
to the other side at the barre, turn (usually soutenu) toward the barre.”
This holds true any time it is between combinations and the
dancer is moving from finishing one side to beginning the exercise on the other
side. If, however, the soutenu is a part
of the combination of steps, it can, and often does, go away from the barre,
especially if the combination is reversed.
But the general rule stands:
When changing sides, remember to turn toward the barre.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #7z:
“When changing to the other side at the barre, turn (soutenu) toward
the barre.”
