Wacky Wednesday Cellophane
A common problem with pliés is when the torso doesn’t move straight up and down
and instead leans forward, or tilts sideways or in many other ways fails to maintain a straight up and down alignment. Not good.
Imagine doing every plié inside an
elevator shaft made of cellophane. If the body leans forward and the derriere
sticks out, the cellophane will tear. Instead, imagine moving cleanly up and
down this fragile, sheer elevator shaft with no deviation – just like an actual elevator.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

elevator shaft.”
