Terminology Tuesday Marquer
The French word marquer (mar-KAY) means: “Distinguish,
make recognizable by means of a mark of a landmark”, or “Make an impression strong enough to leave a
memory.”
In Gail Grant’s book Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical
Ballet she defines marquer as: “To stamp,
to mark the accents in a step. Also to mark or “walk through” the steps of an
enchaînement or
variation.”
Now you know why we “mark through it”
when learning a new combination.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Terminology Secret #31:
“Marquer means to make known or
emphasize.”
