@joeinparis (cont.) as opposed to other schools of different culture where the teacher will cross that line to achieve a desired outcome. I was more responding to the "petit is a perve" comment. Petit could very well just be a perve, or it could be cultural perceptions. Either way, no offense intended. I love ballet in all forms.
@joeinparis Sorry wasn't clear in my statement. Just in general, Americans tend to be more prudish in their approach to teaching ballet. I feel that other companies/countries/cultures have a more liberal approach in teaching techniques, whether it be a stricter regimen or more severe physicality. Not that American teachers won't physically correct a student but that there is a line in that physicality that they won't cross (just a generalization, there are always exceptions).
He's just trying to show the proper placement. I guess it's unconventional in America because we are a "lawsuit" nation, but it is very common in ballet schools such as in Russia that the teacher will physically show the student how she/he is to hold the body and will physically correct the body position.
How in love I was with Roland Petit and Zizijeanmaire. The were all I had to study in the 1960's There was no you tube and dance was catching on. How lucky we are to have him teaching.
she's so perfectly silent. i love it. it's as if she knows that she's so good that she just has to stand there and demonstrate moves that are CLEARLY easy for her. fabulous indeed.
Textbook technique combined with a great ballet body and refined elegance; she truly has it all! It was written in the stars that years later she would be an étoile of Paris Opéra Ballet.
im soo happy that 3 years of french helped me understan around 99% of this :S

R.I.P. Roland Petit. You will be extremely sorely missed. There was no-one quite like you.
Au Revoir.
