Wacky Wednesday Weights
A common problem with port de bras is a droopy hand. And, as we all know from Ballet Statute #18: “There is no drooping in ballet”.
To keep the hands alive and vibrant, imagine having a tiny
weight at the end of each fingertip.
This weight can be thought of as internal (inside the fingertip), or
external - as a unique part of
fingernail polish. Imagine asking for
wee weights to be added to each finger as a finishing touch on your next
manicure!
However you think about it, this puts the mental focus on
the physicality of the fingers. Simply thinking about the fingers will often
be all that is needed to improve the overall port de bras. Plus, it is hard to ignore fingers that have
suddenly become heavier – even when it is imaginary!
Secret #6x:
“To prevent limp hands, imagine having small weights in the
fingertips.”
