Mad Monday Penchée Lead
The temptation in penchée is to drop the
torso and follow the hand in front as it goes down. This leaves the working leg
dangling in the back and relegated to the role of follower. Scary.
In reality, the penchée (working) leg is
actually the leader, not the
follower. It is the penchée leg that controls the whole operation and the torso
and arm in front only follow its lead. And this is important for a successful
and/or a six-o’clock penchée.
For every inch the penchée leg goes up,
the torso goes down an inch – not more. Always lead with the penchée leg.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #11n:
“Lead with the working leg in penchée.”
