Fun Friday Side Glide
One of the most important steps in
ballet is the glissade, which links many, many other steps together as well as
powering them. Most often standard glissades are done to the side, although
they are also performed front and back.
But since
going sideways is most common, think of this fun phrase: a glissade is a side
glide. The word glissade means “glide” (see Ballet Secret #31p: Glissade means “glide” or “slide”.) Refer
also to Ballet Secret #13i: “ A glissade moves from one foot to one foot
with an under-circle energy.”
I guess you could also call a glissade a
side glide slide.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #13t:
“Think of a standard glissade as a side glide.”
