Mad Monday Strong
This isn’t something new, but often
phrasing something differently truly makes a difference.
When a dancer is having trouble with
pirouettes the culprit is often the plié, or lack thereof. A wimpy plié
simply won’t do! The plié powers the turn, and without sufficient power, the
pirouette won’t work well.
If you follow my blog, you know Ballet Secret #2b: A plié is a movement, not a position, http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-plie-is-movement.html
so a strong plie is dependent on making
a deep, continuous movement without stopping at the bottom.
Therefore, whenever pirouettes aren’t
working well, focus first on the plié.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14ww:
“The stronger the plié, the stronger the pirouette.”
