In a stunning and positive introduction to tonight’s entry, I’d like to announce that the month of December has been a big one for the movement of c. It’s December 27th, nearing the end of the 2005 year, and I’m proud to be entering 2006 on a high note. This month’s traffic has doubled from last month’s, and nearly tripled from previous months.
My search engine phrases have greatly increased, and along with my unending gratitude to Ari and 3rd Arm, I’m really happy that many of my incoming links are now pointing to Google search phrases, and internet keyword searches. Also, my country list has extended itself from 6 countries in November to 24 this month. Something has greatly changed, and I can only play along. Remember this: “If you build it, they will come.” Hell yes.
Some new and improved search phrases included:
- “Cbear and Jamal”
- “children’s christmas movement”
- “tombe pas de bouree definition of”
- “tony barrand multiple sclerosis” : Read the entry that professes my respect and admiration for this dancing man.
I’d also like to take a moment and give the definition of “tombe pas de bouree” for those who may be looking.
Tombe, the french word that means “to fall”. In ballet this is done by extending the leading foot and “falling” on to that leg by placing the foot on the floor, transferring the weight to that foot, and bending the leg while doing so. A “Tombe” can provide an equalization of weight to the center of the body, or can be used to transfer weight from one leg to the other.
Pas de bouree, a combination of three steps done on “demi-pointe”, or “releve”. Traditionally, a “pas de bouree” follows the pattern, “back, side, front”, finishing the final step in soussou. In ballet the step is done with straight legs. Many variations stem from the ballet pas de bouree, which could explained at a later time.
