Fun Friday
Pirouette Jeans
We have all
had the experience of zipping up a tight pair of jeans. That sensation of
lifting and sucking in the stomach is familiar to most of us.
Therefore,
use this feeling during a pirouette preparation. As you plié, begin “zipping”
up your jeans, and by the time you hit the top of the relevé, the jeans should
be securely zipped and held there. This helps maintain the posture and alignment
needed for successful turns.
For fun, you
could even try wearing real jeans and try to zip them up during your preparation.
Have fun
with ballet.
Pirouette
jeans!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

preparation, zip your jeans.”

“I have
often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the
most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant.”
