Terminology Tuesday Sautillé
Tour sautillé
[toor soh-tee-YAY] is a term of the Russian school. This is a hopping turn,
performed with a series of small hops in demi-plié.
These hopping turns are usually done in arabesque or attitude (see
today’s Link of the Day below at
1:04).
The word sautillé means bounce and also applies to a fast violin
stroke.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets

Quote of the Day:
“Many
think that the mark of a great champion is the nature and margin of their
victories and the peaks they scale and reach. That’s only part of it. The mark
of the greatest of champions is how they react and respond to defeat. That is
when they become enshrined in our hearts and minds – as they rise again and
into the immortal pages of history.”
