Wednesday Front or Back
Beats are
accomplished with both feet. Dancers learn this early. But sometimes it helps
to think about it differently.
Usually, in
an entrechat quatre, we think of the front
foot beating back and returning to the front, even though both feet are (or
should be) beating.
If beats are
a problem, try reversing the psychology: think of the back foot coming to the
front and returning to the back. This reverse psychology works in other beats
too.
Try it – but
always with the understanding that both
feet actually beat.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #15yyy:
“Think of your back foot coming to the front to beat instead
focusing on the front foot.”
