balletstar811 Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 I know we have been discussing pictures lately- but I was going through some of the 2003 YAGP ones, and I found one I thought was a really cool position, and the other I think is ACTUALLY a good arabesque, a high one, but it's not alabesque! Let me know what you think! This is the cool one: http://www.yagp.org/eng/photos03.asp?actio...d=1&photo_num=3 The good arabesque: http://www.yagp.org/eng/photos03.asp?actio...d=1&photo_num=4 Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted July 17, 2003 Administrators Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 No comment on the "cool" one, but the "arabesque" one is a problem because her hip is so far up that she is actually OVER rotated, causing a very poor line of the back leg. Notice that you can see her heel. Quote Link to comment
Guest Firebird3000 Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Yeah, I see what Ms Leigh means about the heel. And the "cool one" is rather gymnastic like for a ballet number, unless she was doing a contemporary piece Quote Link to comment
Guest Old Fashioned Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Contemporary or not, I prefer acrobatic tricks to be left out of ballet. Quote Link to comment
balletstar811 Posted July 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Sorry Ms. Leigh, I guess I was indeed incorrect! Quote Link to comment
Guest thumpinhippo Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 It is a "cool" position, just not from a ballet perspective. Point taken about the arabesque. Quote Link to comment
