Terminology Tuesday Ramassé
The term ramassé or ramassée [ra-ma-SAY]
means “picked up”. It is used in petit allegro steps such as entrechat cinq ramassé (also called sissonne fermé battu, which is a sissonne fermé with the beat of an
entrechat quatre). Confused yet?
Maybe this makes it clear: an entrechat
cinq ramassé is basically a sissonne fermé (closed) and beaten,
done with the beat of a royale.
All that being said, I don’t recall
hearing the term ramassé used in any
classes I attended, but I did hear sissonne
fermé battu.
