Wacky Wednesday Shrug
Shoulders that warm the earlobes are, unfortunately, a problem
for some dancers. This habit is usually a sign of too much tension or even anxiety.
To help with this, have students shrug strongly, pulling the
shoulders up to the ears, then have them relax totally, allowing the shoulders
to fall back into a natural, relaxed position. Repeat.
This will not only help provide necessary relaxation, it will allow the students to feel exactly where
the shoulders should be for proper alignment.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #1zz
“To feel the correct downward
energy in the shoulders, shrug and relax.
