  • Since Ballet Terms Can Often Be Tricky to Pronounce, I Have Included the Word Translations in Brackets to Help You Say the Terms
    Since ballet terms can often be tricky to pronounce, I have included the word translations in brackets to help you say the terms. A Adage, Adagio (a-DAHZH) At ease or at leisure. Adage is incorporated into ballet classes and most classical pas de deux combinations. It is a series of slow, graceful exercises during the centre practice which is generally focused on line, balance and fluidity. It takes lots of practice to gain the stability and control whilst still having a sense of fluid movement. En L'Air (ahn lehr) In the air. This ballet term is generally associated with ballet movements that are in the air. For example, tour en l'air which is a high turning jump mainly for the male dancers. It indicates that for ballet exercises like rond de jambe and adage the leg should be lifted off the floor, such as rond de jambe en l'air. Allégro ([a-lay-GROH) Bright and brisk movements. This ballet term is associated to all jumps in ballet. So, whether it is petite allégro, or grand allégro a dancer will aim to show a sense of ballon and spring in the elevation. Arabesque (a-ra-BESK) This is one of the basic poses in ballet. The position of an arabesque shows one leg as the supporting leg and the other extended behind you. The arms can be held in various positions to show a first, second, or third arabesque. An arabesque is like a tendu derriere but lifted en l'air. The aim is to lift the leg without showing too much adjustment in the body, such as pitching forward.
