Saturday Sayings and Superstitions
The dance world is full of superstitions
and sayings. I’ve talked about many of them before.
Here is a new superstition/saying.
Wishing that at dancer trip on her dress is a superstition that began in old
English theaters and is based on fairy folklore. Since dancers are supposed to
be graceful and seldom stumble, fairies would have fun making them do so. But
if a dancer kissed the hem of her skirt, thus acknowledging the fairies, presumably
the fairies would be happy and the dancer would have a good performance.
Have a nice trip!
