Ballet Is A High Form Of Art
(I teach ballet. At this class, I have been talking to my class about the importance of being “high on your leg”: lengthening your hip joints so that your legs can easily move in and out.)
Me: “… but if you’re sinking down in your hip, it will be a lot harder to move your legs.” *I demonstrate* “So you want to make sure that you are always high.”
(A student snickers, and I realize what I’ve just said.)
Me: “On your leg! High on your leg! DO NOT come into my class high on drugs!”
(We all had a good laugh at that one. It’s now a running joke:)
Me: “What is my rule?”
Class: “Be high, but don’t be high!”
