Wild Wednesday Seat
Understanding how far the body should
angle (turn) in positions like croisé is difficult for many students. Most dancers realize
they shouldn’t face directly to the side, but often they still turn too far.
The actual amount of turn is minimal, and that’s what makes it problematic.
The simplest answer is this: if any part
of the seat can be seen in the mirror, the body has turned too far. Instead, dancers
should see both hip bones, not just one, in the mirror.
Two hips, no seat!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #5h:
“In angled positions like croisé, the
seat should never be visible in the mirror.”
