Do you know any techniques or postures of ballet? Classical ballet has strict rules for movement. I’ll introduce some of them.
First, I’ll show you two postures.
“Arabesque” is the most beautiful pose. This pose is used frequently. You stretch your leg and arms. Arabesque is classified into five sorts.
“Attitude” resembles arabesque, but you should bend your leg which doesn’t take root.
Second, I’ll show you some rotation techniques.
“Pirouette” is a basic technique of rotation. You rotate with your one leg apart from the floor, but you should lower the leg after every rotation. You rotate by the power of your arms movement.
“Grand fouette” is more difficult than pirouette. You cannot lower the leg: only one leg should take root. In “Swan Lake” Odile rotate 32 times by this technique.
“Italian fouette” is a splendid technique. This is the combination of developpe and attitude.
Third, I’ll show you some jump techniques.
“Pas de chat” means “cat’s jumping”. For example, two cats come to wedding ceremony in “Sleeping Beauty”. At that time this technique is used. (I cannot find any animation.)
“Jete” means “to throw”. “Grand-Jete” is one of them.
Ballet has a lot of techniques. I cannot tell all of them correctly…
Classical ballet uses them strictly: it hardly uses nameless movement. The more techniques you know, the better you can enjoy yourself in seeing ballet.
