Alright I know what your thinking... how in the world do Davinci and ballet relate so well its worth blogging about? Let me explain, these past weeks I was down at a ballet summer intensive. While I was there we really focused on dancing big and expanding throughout all corners of your body. An example given was the Vitruvian Man drawn by Davinci.
We were told to visualize ourselves as the man in the middle of the circle. When we danced we were to reach ourselves to touch all sides of the bubble. I thought this was a beautiful analogy to help dancers with presentation. I know in the classes I have thought about this, it has really helped me to dance full out especially in my grand allegro. Hope this helps you as well!
Tutu for now!
