MattMan Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Its now 2021 and the end of this month will mark the THIRD YEAR of me taking class! My teacher often encourages me to carry myself as would a prince. Do you have any tips or suggestions that may help with this? Was there any particular approach that helped when you were learning? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Colman Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Into year six or seven now and still trying to work that out: on my todo list for this year. Watch dancers with a similar physique and see how they carry themselves? Spend some time playing in the mirror. I'm pretty sure it involves rather a lot of looking ridiculous until you nail it.

MattMan Posted October 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Thank you, Coleman. In a weird sort of way I guess it is encouraging to know that it is not necessarily quick and easy. Guess that may just be the nature of the beast that Ballet can be. Quote Link to comment
Colman Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Well, part of my problem is that the prince I most resemble is latter day Henry VIII, but I think its the sort of "simple" thing that depends on having good secure technique before you can express it well. Quote Link to comment
Kalashnikov Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Watch the men in ballets. What helped me a lot was taking some character classes. Quote Link to comment
MattMan Posted May 4 Author Report Share Posted May 4 Ahh, that makes sense. I will see if there are any on-line character resources available. My small town doesn't really offer any specialized training. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment
