Yesterday I was able to make a ballet/Tae Kwon Do connection in class.
Alec, the intense 10-year-old who will be up for his black belt next test was practicing his new form which includes a 360 jump turn. He was having trouble staying balanced when he came down from the turn. I was goofing around practicing grand tours en rond while he was jumping (they are 360 jump turns that male ballet dancers do), and I noticed something.
"Hey, Alec, try spotting!" I showed him how to spot, and I do believe it helped him! I think his dad was impressed.
"See, you need to listen to ballerinas," I joked.
