Terminology Tuesday Middle



Terminology Tuesday Middle

A term you seldom in the U.S. is au milieu [oh-mee-LYUH]. This French term means in the middle or center.

After barre, dancers move au milieu – or into the middle of the room for center practice. I’ve always heard simply “come into the center” or something similar, even when I danced outside the U.S.

But it’s always enlightening and fun to increase one’s vocabulary!


From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Terminology Secret #1a:
Au milieu means in the middle.”

Quote of the Day:
“It's so difficult, isn't it? To see what's going on when you're in the absolute middle of something? It's only with hindsight we can see things for what they are.”
