Marvelous Monday Penchée Day
Today we celebrate everything related to
penchée! I have written many times about this lovely, but challenging step and
you can search my blog for the details on these previous entries:
Ballet
Secret #11n: Imagine the
hips supported by wide ribbons tied to the ceiling during penchée.
Ballet
Secret #21b:
“The rule of the penchée: the body is only allowed to go down as much
as the leg goes up.”
Ballet
Secret #21c:
“To help maintain stability in a
penchée, think of sending energy outward through the working leg.”
Ballet
Secret #21g: The word “penchée” means leaning or
inclined.
Ballet
Secret #22q: If you have a split on the floor you can
have a 6 o’clock penchée.
Today I’m adding one more, and it is important. To maintain stability in a penchée,
you must keep the weight over the ball of the supporting foot at all times!
There is a tendency, especially when the working leg is at its full height, to
rock back on the heel of the standing leg. Gasp! When this happens all is lost.
Scary.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Secret #11o:
“Keep the weight over the ball of the standing foot
during a penchée.”
