starlightdreamer Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 There is probably a forum for this already, but I have a question regarding arabesque pictures and auditions. Is it appropriate for a 13 year-old (almost 14) to use an arabesque picture on flat in pointe shoes for an audition? Or would it be better to do it on pointe? Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted December 4, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 On pointe would be better. Quote Link to comment

prima_paloma Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 On some websites for auditions, they will have requirements. For example, on one of the websites of an SI I'm looking at, it says that an arabesque picture on demi-pointe or pointe is acceptable. Quote Link to comment
Chloper Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 On pointe would look more attractive. It also pushes your arabesque up a bit. But it depends on whether your pointe is good (which I'm sure it is) Quote Link to comment

_Victoriaastar Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 If the Summer Intensive you are auditioning for did not specify pointe or demi I would assume either is aceptable, however pointe demonstarates a dancer's ability. The general rule of thumb is if you are to execute a clean arabesque on pointe in center than do so in the picture! Quote Link to comment
