@enpointedance1: "Sissonne" refers to the scissor-like motion of the legs during the jump. "Fermé" means closed/ together in French, indicating that the step ends with the feet together. A sissonne fermé is a small jump that begins from two feet and lands on two feet, with one foot closing to meet the other upon landing. It's typically performed to the front, side, or back. HOW TO DO A SISSONNE FERMÉ: Starting position: Stand in fifth position. Preparation: Plié (bend your knees) slightly. Jump: Push off from both feet, extending your legs and pointing your toes. It's important to note that this jump travels in the direction you are going. So one must take the hips in the direction and not stay in one place. Landing: Land on the foot that was in front in the starting position. Closing: Immediately bring the other foot to close in fifth position, ending in a plié. KEY POINTS: Both legs should be well-turned-out and fully extended. Aim for a soft, quiet landing by rolling through your feet from toes to heels. Keep your upper body straight and arms in the appropriate position (which may vary depending on the specific exercise). The jump should have a light, airy quality. #ballet #ballettips #balletcore #vaganova #balletclass #balletdancer #balletlife #balletlovers
