Terminology Tuesday Pied Dans la Main
The phrase pied dans la main [pyay dahn lah men] is a term of the French
school and means foot in the hand.
This is a stretch we are all familiar
with – the dancer holds the foot or heel from the inside and the leg is
straightened and brought to second position in the air with the foot still held
in the hand.
It is the same as détiré, which means drawn out.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Terminology Secret #74:
“Pied dans la main means foot in the hand.”
