Terminology Tuesday Assemblé de Suite



Terminology Tuesday Assemblé de Suite

A term of the Cecchetti school of training, assemblé de suite a-sahn-BLAY-duh sweet) is a series of assemblés that are perfomred without straightening the knees at the end of each assemblé. The term means “continuous assemblé”.

I seldom see this term used, or the step performed, today. But it is one of twenty-seven (yes, I counted them!) different assemblés listed in Gail Grant’s book “Technical Maunual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet”.

Don’t you just love ballet?!

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret 15uuu#:
“Assemble de suite is a series of assembles.”
