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.
