New York City Ballet Principal Dancers Joaquin De Luz and Ana Sophia Scheller will perform in Boca Raton, Florida on November 10 for the Boca Ballet Theatre Guild gala “A Princely Affair.” Here is Ana rehearsing a fouetté section from Le Corsaire for the performance, throwing in doubles and a triple pirouette. I like the way Ana hits a nice a la seconde position (facing front, leg extended to the side) at a 90 degree angle every time. Sometimes I see women “cheat” when doing fouettés, keeping their leg low and not hitting a second position to generate more power for the turns.
