You know it when you see it. That effortless, magnetic quality professional dancers have, the way their bodies seem to cut through space with clarity and length. But do you know what you're actually looking at?
In this episode, we're back with Chelsea Weidmann, aka The Geeky Ballerina, as part of our ongoing series unpacking the elements of artistry as she identified and explored them in her thesis on artistry in ballet. Today's topic: LINE. One of the most foundational and most misunderstood elements of all.
In this episode we cover: - What line actually is (and what it's NOT) - The different categories of line in ballet - How your body's planes of action inform and improve your technique - How to shape the lines between your movements - How to create the illusion of length like a professional - How to start training your lines no matter your current level
If you've ever watched yourself in the mirror and known something was off but couldn't name it, this episode will give you the tools to find your best lines and start enhancing your artistry. ☺️
