Terminology Tuesday Plané
In ballet, the word plané [pla-NAY] means soaring.
It is usually used in conjunction with steps like temps de poisson or any jump
in which the dancer tries to “pause in the air”.
The literal definition from https://www.interglot.com/diPlan%C3%A9ctionary/fr/en/translate/plan%C3%A9,
states that plané means “flattened
out, leveled off”. One can see the similarity to how it is used in ballet.
The term is easy to remember because it
sounds like the familiar noun plane –
an airliner that stays (one hopes) in the air.
