Fun Friday Touch
Floating passés, orbiting retirés, oh my! You know what I mean. The foot of the
working leg never actually touches the supporting knee and instead orbits or
floats around it.
This prevents establishing a solid
position, especially since an orbiting passé tends to cause (or be caused by)
an unstable hip/pelvis position. None of this contributes to a successful
position or turn.
Stamp out floating and orbiting retirés! Touch (gently) the supporting knee area with the
working foot. Establish and maintain a good position. Your pirouettes will
thank you.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #18o:
“ In retiré, the foot must touch the supporting leg
and not hover or orbit.”

long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back
and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”
