I’m being treated to a night of MacMillan this week. I’m seeing Manon’s story unfold. I can’t wait! MacMillan said that Ninette de Valois once shouted at him for being late to class! Which reminds me, RAD class this week is in de Valois studio. She also said that she wanted her dancers to be strong. It was no good to have dancers who were flexible and weak. Dancers needed to be strong and flexible. Pilates this week and every week would not disappoint her!
This week I thought it would be good to keep practising paper thin. We’ll build layer upon layer, as ever, leading to scissors and hundreds. We’ll also use the ball for some paper thin challenges too. Our four point kneeling moves will take us to plank with leg lifts.
