What's a Lyre?
The next Arabesque is Arabesque à la Lyre. Which literally translates as "Arabesque with the lyre". Its basically a Cecchetti Method Third Arabesque but with the palms facing up as if the dancer was holding a lyre. Dusting off my Greek musical history, a lyre is basically a hand held harp. I looked everywhere for a picture of this, and all I came up with were some stick figures from Zazzle.com. This posting made me finalize my decision to have a photo shoot with some of my students so that I can have accurate pictures of all of these positions of dance. I will post those soon...
