Saturday Rolling Statute



Saturday Rolling Statute

Dancers are good at subtle, body language types of communication. And that can be good. But then there are other times…

When a dancer is frustrated, he/she is not allowed to stomp off the floor and communicate this frustration to everyone. Dancers know this. But there are more insidious, subtle ways that dancers express their feelings. One big one is rolling the eyes (gasp!). This is often accompanied by other body language like hands on the hips, or the famous click-and-sigh. Scary.

There is no eye rolling in ballet. None. Never. This gesture is rich with the sort of bad attitude that has absolutely no place in a dance class – or anywhere else for that matter. You know what I mean.

There is no eye rolling in ballet.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Statute #125:
“There is no eye rolling in ballet.”
