Monday Spare
We are all familiar with the problem of
ribs poking out or opening up. This is simply not allowed. There are no spare ribs in ballet.
Instead, the rib cage stays aligned over
the pelvis (except in positions like attitude and arabesque), and the center
front of the rib cage falls into its naturally closed position – never allowed to open outward.
Maintaining this posture will help
immensely with pirouettes as well as almost everything else.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Statute #176:
“There are no spare ribs in ballet.”
