Terminology Tuesday Soulevé
Soulevé or soulevée (sool-VAY)
means raised and is used in
conjunction with other terms, like rond de jambe soulevé (see Gail Grant’s Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical
Ballet).
However, an internet search for a more detailed definition yielded little more information, and I have never encountered this
word myself. It has apparently fallen out of common usage. It seems to be used
most often in the French school of training.
But there you have it - another term to add to
your vocabulary!
