Technical Tuesday Renversé
A renversé is a beautiful step, one that involves a developpé or grand battement followed by a grand rond de jambe. It can be a jump, or not. What makes it
unique is the curving of the back and upper body as the leg comes to attitude
derriere. When viewed from above
(imagine seagulls flying overhead and what they would see), the image of a
circle is created when the attitude foot comes close to the dancer’s head as
she arches to meet it.
The definition of a reversé is this: “To reverse, to move
the leg in a circle with co-ordination of the body - either as a jump or on the
floor.”
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #11g:
“A renversé creates the image of a circle involving the leg and
back when viewed from above.”
