Marvelous
Monday Barefoot
Now that it
is summer and shoes are being thrown off, it’s a good time to think about
experimenting with barefoot ballet.
That’s right.
Ballet in bare feet – at least at the barre, to start with. Working barefoot
can reveal areas where improvement is needed. For instance, are you really moving
“through the foot” – or are you going directly to a fully extended foot,
without moving through the demi-pointe (metatarsals)? Being barefoot allows you
to really feel the floor and establish that necessary connection. Plus, it’s
fun.
There is a
wonderful freedom in doing barre barefoot. You’ll feel new sensations you can
use when you go back to wearing shoes.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #3t:
“Working barefoot can reveal new insights.”

Take off your shoes-
You're on barefoot beach.
Relax in the sunshine-
Broken only by trees.”
