Mad Monday Penthouse
What is a penthouse?
Here is the definition from Wikipedia: “A penthouse apartment or a penthouse is an
apartment on the highest floor of an apartment building.” The key words
here are “highest floor”.
This is a good image for any relevé, since problems
occur when dancers don’t lift enough – the elevator only goes to the upper
floors and not the penthouse. Every relevé should be a penthouse relevé. It’s
not enough to get almost high enough.
Push your elevator button in (see this blog: http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/2013/11/fun-friday-elevators-and-belly-buttons.html),
and make sure you go all the way up to the penthouse. The view is better up
there.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #8h:
“Imagine rising to the penthouse – not just the upper floors - during a
relevé.”
