WATER PUDDLE EXPLAINED #ballerina#ballet#water#explained#question#comments#dancer#didyouknow

[WolfEyesSeeU]

Water is cheaper than rosin so if it works and no one slips in a puddle, it's all good.

[GlisteningWind]

Thank you for explaining this because I was definitely amongst those who were confused LOL 🫶🫶🫶

[luciathornton]

i dont do this every class but days where the floors are more slippery this is a life saver (literally)

[tbhfourthh]

not a ballet dancer (georgian folklore) but we use literal coca cola right backstage if the stage floor is too slippery, its sugary and sticks better

[thorkatla]

I do this as well! It’s happened embarrassingly often where i spill a whole bunch of water on accident and have to clean it up🥴😂

[cosmicmuffin]

It's a libation (offering to the ballet gods) to give her skill and success

Thank you for such a prompt explanation Lori. One learns something new every day. 😅

Water on the floor was commonplace in my ballet classes where the teacher watered the entire (hardwood) floor using a watering can to sprinkle the floor in preparation for the class to do center work. The watering can was a permanent resident of the class room.

We use water in highland dancing too… some dancers even have spray bottles to spray their shoes before going on stage

[spicywaffle_]

yeah I remember doing that for shows sometimes, we'd take a spray bottle and just spray the bottom a bit

[Musicnchaos]

Thank you for explaining things like this so that I don't have to😅

[MsAnzoe]

"the guy next to me had his own water bottle" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ThePippers]

And then there's me who just switched from leather to canvas because I wasn't feeling slippery enough 😂😅

[ValR-ih]

I use washing cloths that are damp. They help you to control better

[bunnys]

Im an amateur and this trick just makes barre feel so much more secure for me, I love it

[Revistwins-zh]

I do the puddle if I am at a competition or audition

[Hearts]

Interesting. Had not heard of that before. Makes sense 🩰👍

[soude]

We do this in our Tai-chi class, there is a designated puddle area😂🥋

[CrystalRuizEnriquez]

I was wondering but i figured it had been explained before😅

[eliiiza]

i remember when i was very little we used to do that too, always asking for water breaks haha
