Mad Monday Magic Thread


Mad Monday Magic Thread

Here we go again with yet another image for good posture!  Can there ever be enough?  I think not.

Today it is the Magic Thread.  This thread runs up the inside of the spine and exits through the top of the head.  It continues onward to infinity (it’s magic, remember).  The dancer feels as though the thread is gently pulling them upward, away from gravity.  This gentle pull should lift and straighten the posture, automatically producing the correct alignment of the body for ballet.

So imagine the Magic Thread as soon as you step to the barre.  It wouldn't hurt to use it in everyday life as well!

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Secret #1ee:  
“Imagine a magic thread running up the spine and out through the top of the head.”
