Fun Friday Hot Wheels
The shape of the arms is the same in most positions: only
slightly bent, forming the shape of an elongated curve. When the arms are in à
la seconde, the elbow is higher than the wrist, but slightly lower than the
shoulder. The elbow "point" faces the back
wall.
The easiest way to imagine this position is like this: as a
sloped roadway for toy vehicles, like Matchbox
cars or Hot Wheels. When the arm is
correctly positioned, the car can roll from shoulder to fingertips. If the arm
is drooping, the car will fall off at the elbow.
So race away!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #6dd:
“ Imagine a Hot Wheels toy
car rolling down the arm from the shoulder to the fingers.”
