Terminology Tuesday Déboîté
The term déboîté [day-bwah-TAY] means disjointed.
It is similar to an emboité, but it is on pointe and the dancer moves backwards
(en arrière). It
is similar to the term emboité en
reculant of the French school which is a series of emboités moving upstage.
Confused yet? Presumably emboité en reculant is performed on or
off pointe, whereas déboîté is always
on pointe. At least that’s my opinion based on the two definitions. I never
heard either term used during my dancing days.
