Terminology Tuesday Déboulé
Most dancers are familiar with chainé
turns. But there is a term of the French school that you probably haven’t
heard. It’s tour chainé déboulé (toor
sheh-NAY day-boo-LAY).
It means: a chain of turns, rolling like a ball. The word déboulé is the part that means “rolling
like a ball”. I've seldom heard it used today, at least in America, and it has been
replaced by the simpler and shorter chainé.
Even so, it’s always fun to learn new things.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #30c:
“Tour chainé déboulé is the full term for chainé
turns.”
