Freaky
Friday Fouetté Drill
Often the
problem encountered in fouettés is an overabundance of energy in a single
direction. The solution goes back to the famous two-way energy I talk about all
the time.
In fouettés,
if the “pulling up” action is not balanced by an equal energy down and through
the floor, the turns won’t work. So to ensure a two-way energy, imagine the
supporting leg as a drill, drilling consistently into the floor on every relevé.
You can even imagine the sound a drill would make to heighten the experience.
This should
solve any problems caused by too much energy up.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14cc:
“Imagine your supporting leg drilling
into the floor during fouettés.”
