Fun Friday Spear
Today’s Link of the Day is a fine example of grand jetés and how the front
leg should behave.
The front, or leading leg must go straight out, parallel to the floor –
like a spear or dart being thrown. If the spear is directed toward the ground,
that’s where it will go – straight down where it jams into the earth. This is
not where a dancer wants to go.
Think of your leading leg as a spear and
send it out - strong, level and parallel to the floor.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Secret #15ggg:
“In grand jetés, think of your leg as a spear.”
