I am not on pointe and i wasted 8 years of my dance training hate a studio that doesnt give proper training. Now that I have changed studios I have alot to catch up on. Like ballet terms. We had a test on diffrent things in ballet, i got a 21 1/2, not good i know. could anyone help me with with a few of the things I dont know, like here are some of the questions that were on the test,>>what are the 8 body postitions?>>a contraction starts from where? I a time signature what does each number stand for (i.e. 3/4 4/4 2/4 6/8)>>Top#______>>Bottom#_______>>If you could help me find out those answers that would be good.>>O.o. and Does it seem hopeless for me to become a Prima Ballerina seeing how I dont know answers to questions like those? >Top number is the number of beats per measure in a phase of music.>Bottom number is the note that gets the full beat count.>There are several note types in music. Starting with the "whole note" which occupies the full measure. A "half note" which occupies half a measure, a "quarter note" which occupies a quater of the measure, then an "eighth note" and a "sixteenth note" and so on; there is also a variant of notes which occupies 3 beats, one that occupies 1-1/2 beats and so on. >In 4/4 time there can be a total of 4 beats per measure (top number) and a quarter note (bottom number) gets the full beat and there could be a total of 4 quarter notes in that measure. In 3/4 time there can be a total of 3 beats with the quarter note getting the full beat. In 3/8 time the eigth note would get the full beat, in 4/16 the sixteenth note. >There are several different measures of time. Whhere 2/4, 3/4 (waltz), 4/4 (ballad), 5/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8 are typical.>as for the directions of the body.>Croise devant>quatrieme devant>efface devant>cruise derriere>quatrieme derriere>effece derriere>ecarte devant>a la second>ecarte derriere>you may transfer from position to position in "temps lie", "pas de basque a terre" in the center or through barre exercises.>Most often you visit these positions at the barre and never know their names.>As far as your future goes...only you may determine the fate of yourself.
