Wacky Wednesday Water
Here is a collection of all the Ballet
Secrets (so far) that involve some sort of water imagery:
1dd. Imagine opening the collarbones to
allow them to collect rainwater.
1gg. Imagine a glass of water balanced
on each shoulder.
1yy. Imagine a waterfall flowing from
the earlobes down the neck to the shoulders.
6t. When standing underneath the water
in a shower, if the arms are correctly shaped in à la seconde, the water will
run down the arm and off the first finger.
6n.
“Imagine the arms as hoses, and allow
a continuous flow of water through them and out of the fingertips.”
7kk.
Imagine your whole body sparkling,
like sun on water.
18a.
In an attitude devant, imagine balancing a glass of water on the working
foot.
18e. To
increase extension in an attitude devant, imagine a glass of water on the
working heel with a bent straw in it.
Lift the leg high enough to sip the drink.
Here is another one for today: To
develop the correct resistance for any movement, try practicing in a swimming
pool, or imagine how it feels to move through water.
Happy summer swimming!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

movements in a swimming pool.”

Quote of the Day:
“Rest is
not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the
sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
