Terminology Tuesday Entrée
The word entrée [ahn-TRAY] doesn’t just
mean the main course of a meal, although the origin of the word is the same. It
means “entrance” and according to https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/101852/why-is-a-meals-main-course-referred-to-as-entree:
“After the entree (or entrees)
came the soup, and after the soup, the roast, and after the roast, the
final course. According to food historians, this order of service
gradually changed. By the 1650s, the French entrée was a hot
meat dish served after the soup.”
In dance It means the arrival (entrance)
of a dancer or a group of dancers who are about to perform. It can also apply
to the beginning of a grand pas de deux in which the couple makes their
entrance.
