Terminology Tuesday Ligne
The word ligne [LEEN-yuh} means line.
That is, the line dancers are familiar with: the picture or outline a dancer
exhibits while dancing.
As we know, a dancer is said to have “good
line” when they are able to arrange everything (head, arms, legs, etc.) in a
pleasing balletic aesthetic. Of course this is absolutely necessary for all
dancers.
In addition to meaning line, the word ligne in French can mean queue, trait, design, conception, figure,
or silhouette among others.
