Mad Monday Wired
In an attitude devant, there is a tendency to allow the
working leg to drop and the shoulders and upper back to travel backwards,
resulting in … well, a crash. This often happens when the dancer is trying to
push their extension, causing the supporting leg to bend and compromising the
entire operation.
To put a stop to all of this destruction, imagine a wire
that connects the working heel to the upper chest. This wire is taut and solid,
and it prevents the migration of the
shoulders and (attitude) heel away from
each other.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #18t:
“ In an attitude devant, imagine a wire connecting the working heel to
the upper chest.”
