Terminology Tuesday Autour de la Salle
Autour
de la salle (oh TOOR duh lah sal) is
a term in the Cecchetti school of training. It means “round the room”. It indicates
that a series of turns and/or jumps are to be performed in a circular pattern
around the room or the stage.
I seldom hear autour de la salle used today, instead the French term en manège is used. It means “as at a
riding school or in a cirucus ring” (Gail Grant, Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet).

Quote of the Day:
“There is
something particularly special and personal about the circle and how its curves
comfortably rule every aspect of our lives.”
