Balanchine's way

Article Abstract:

Choreographer George Balanchine was precise concerning the way in which a dancer's body should appear during movements. Two key areas were turnouts and jumps. By adjusting her pelvis, a dancer could ensure that her legs achieved maximum turnout, or outward angle to the body. By flexing her ankles, a dancer could also achieve the appearance of weightlessness during jumps.
