Ballet Terminology

Simply Explained

Ballet Terminology


The first ballet school was in France, and the terminology was crystallized there. Actors wish one antoher good luck before a performance by saying, Break a leg! Dancers say, Merde! which transaltes, roughly, to shit ) The drawback of this is that ballerinas must laern the French names for the steps nad movements; the advantage is that they can tkae a ballet class anywhere in the world and, no matter how uninetlligible the rest of the talk is, the terminoloyg will still be in French and therefore understood.
