Any help with ballet??

Question

I started 5 years ago, but quit in 2007. I'm starting again, but I kind of lost touch with a few things. Does anybody have any tricks to help me remember which turn/jump has which name??

Answer 1

look at basic ballet sites.

Answer 2

thats what happened to me, i danced for 10 years then took a year off and i was rusty the best way to get better and remember things is take the last class level you took over a again. and you build up your muscles again.

Answer 4

Heehee, learn French.

But um, an online dictionary would definitely help. I'm sure you could google plenty of those for ballet. Also, there's this really helpful book I have "Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet" by Gail Grant, it's so very helpful. I don't know if you could borrow it from a library or not though because someone gave this to me, but check into it.

Answer 5

personally, i'd research it. when i class, notice the name and how you articulate it, then make up a word in you're head to help you remember.

Answer 6

You are going to have an extremely hard time coming back.

Answer 7

you could try this website - Its American Ballet Thearter's Ballet Dictionary
