Wacky Wednesday Paddle
A fun way for students to practice
spotting is any exercise involving paddle turns. It can be part of a character
class or just a character combination, but either way helps perfect the art of
spotting. And I am a big believer in adding “fun” to ballet classes.
Spotting is critical to success in
almost all turning movements, so developing and perfecting this skill is
important for students and professionals alike.
As an example of what I consider paddle
turns, refer to the Link of the Day
below.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14vv:
“Have students do paddle turns to practice spotting.”

“You are
likely to fall when you stop paddling your bicycle. Such is life. As long as
you don’t give up, you will never end up failing!”
