 the male dancer
written by               on 23.08. at 10:36:17 - as answer to: Demi-point by Dancing Fool>Guys, I hope you can give me some suggestions. I know this will be a pretty basic question to some of you, but bear with me, please. It's a question of balance. When I'm standing in 5th and go into releve, I get all wobbly when I take my hands off the barre to raise them in 5th. I find that damn tricky too - I reckon most people do. My only suggestions is to watch that you're using all of the front of your foot to stand on, not just the balls of your feet; i.e. make sure your feet aren't rolling forwards, if you see what I mean. Oddly (and I know you're not supposed to do this) I find that resting the heel of my front foot against my back foot helps enormously (i.e. like standing on my back foot). I think it's a sort of illusion, but it feels like I'm propped up, & I stay much more steady. A. Answers to this message: |
