Wacky Wednesday Ripples

Wacky Wednesday Ripples

I’ve talked about bourreés before, about how the back leg pushes and how the legs shouldn’t come apart. It should look like the dancer is floating across the stage, and not driving down a gravel road.

Another area of interest in bourreés: the feet. When an accomplished dancer executes a series of brilliant bourreés, her feet appear to ripple. This is because she is “rolling through” her toes with each tiny step. It looks like she has no bones in  her feet! Awesome.

This is the ultimate goal. Rippling bourreés!

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #:
“In perfect bourreés the feet appear to ripple.”
