Presenting: Ballet West's Glossary, a new series you can look forward to every #TutuTuesday! 🩰 We're kicking off this series with Saut de Chat, Featuring Demi-Soloists Olivia Gusti and Dominic Ballard. Saut de Chat is a term that translates from French as "cat's jump" or "leap of the cat." 🐈‍⬛ It's a classical ballet step that involves a grand allegro jump where the dancer performs a leap resembling the light and graceful movements of a cat. As with any specialized field, ballet has its own vocabulary that takes time to understand. Whether you have never danced, or are an experienced dancer, having a comprehensive understanding of ballet terminology can deepen your appreciation for the art form and help you communicate more effectively with other dancers and instructors. . #BalletWest #TutuTuesday #BalletEducation #BalletWestGlossary
