Interruption Statute
This statute
is filed under the category of Classroom
Etiquette: Those things that are seldom taught directly to a dance student,
but become assimilated by them during years of taking classes.
When dancers
are working on pirouettes, or a series of traveling turns, their spot and
mental focus are critical for balance. Therefore, one should never walk in
front of a dancer who is turning. Doing so can interrupt their focus, and thus
their balance. Worst case scenario: it could cause the pirouetting dancer to
lose balance and fall.
Always walk
behind a turning dancer.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Statute #88:
“Never walk in front of a dancer who is
turning.”

“Good
manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must
feel them, not merely exhibit them.”
