Fun Friday Leftovers
Well, here we are, on the day after Thanksgiving. A day that
is likely filled with delicious leftovers. Yummmm.This made me think about
places in ballet technique where you don’t
want leftovers.
The major culprit for “ballet leftovers” is in grand
battement, especially after arabesque. Because a grand battement here requires
a tilt in the pelvis, often the dancer forgets to bring the pelvis back to its
proper, neutral position when closing in fifth position. The “leftover” seat sticking up
does not present a pretty picture!
Any time there is a necessary shift of the pelvis, it must
be returned to its neutral position as soon as possible. Prevent ballet
leftovers!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #12e:
“ Beware of ballet “leftovers” in grand battement.”
