Mad Monday Push the Air
A beautiful port de bras is created
through resistance. That is, the arms never move as though there is nothing
stopping them. Instead, they move as if the air is thick and needs to be gently
pushed away.
This applies to the legs as well, but it
is easier to feel with the arms, especially for beginners. Sometimes it helps
to imagine the air as something else: water, pudding, hot fudge – whatever helps
the feeling of resistance.
Always imagine pushing the air away
during any port de bras.
