Mad Monday Taffy Pull
There is a common port de bras where one
arm is overhead and the other is in front.
You can see it in today’s Link of
the Day at 0:40. This beautiful port de bras is also seen in adagios and in
lunges with upper back bends.
The secret to making this port de bras
as lovely as possible is to imagine pulling taffy between the hands. This
provides the necessary two-way resistance and maintains the relationship
between the arms.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

taffy - sweet, long-lasting, tough, flexible, and colorful.”
