Wednesday Plié Envelope
Pliés have an
unfortunate tendency to waver around. The seat goes back, and the ribs poke
out. Scary. If you tried to put a plié like this in an envelope it either
wouldn’t work at all, or the envelope would be torn beyond use. Not good.
Therefore, a
great way to keep plies straight and narrow is to imagine plié-ing in an
envelope, and no tearing of the paper is allowed. This means on the way down in
the plié, and on the way up.
I guess this
way a plié could be mailed anywhere in the world.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #2x:
“Imagine
each plié being done in an envelope.”

Quote of the Day:
“I've always felt there is something
sacred in a piece of paper that travels the earth from hand to hand, head to
head, heart to heart.”
