Fun Friday Dog Toy
Most of you have probably seen a dog
chew toy that’s made of a thick, tightly coiled rope. This, or any coiled rope,
is a good image for pirouettes.
Picture the spiral of the coiled rope
and how it seems to go on and on. Holding the rope vertically helps visualize
this. The secret is in the tightness of the coil. Without it, the rope will
unravel, and a similar thing happens to turns that lack a tight revolution. “Loose”
turns look warped at best, and are usually completely ineffective.
So imagine that nice, tight coil of your
dog’s favorite chew toy when you pirouette.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #14zz:

“The way
isn't a circle and never can't be a circle unless you repeat the same after the
same. Is it possible to find something new?...
The way is spiral, and I will keep believing in this!”
