Terminology Tuesday Précipitée
Glissade
précipitée [glee-SAD pray-see-pee-TAY] means
glissade hurried. This step is the same as glissade pressée (glissade
pressed) and glissade piquée (glissade pricked). I guess when you are pressed for time, you hurry.😊
Glissade
précipitée is quick and about half
the size of a regular glissade. According to Gail Grant’s book, it is “always followed by a posé and the two steps together take the
same amount of time as an ordinary glissade”. I have not found this to be the case and I usually see glissade précipitée done before many
small jumps, (like jeté),
and not “always followed by a posé”. See my previous blog on glissade:
