There are many types of sissone in ballet, but the best way to describe the jump is to think of the dancer’s legs like scissors. Sounds complicated, but it’s a dancer and audience favorite for a reason! Then, from a plie on the supporting leg, the dancer jumps into the air and fully extends that leg, so for a brief moment the dancer looks like they are doing the splits in the air! To finish, the dancer lands in a plie on the first leg. More commonly known as saut de chat, this jump is one of the most popular and widely recognized in ballet! Often seen in grand allegro’s and women’s variations, this step describes when a dancer throws one leg into the air through a développé, meaning the working leg in drawn up the knee of the supporting leg and then extended straight out. This class is a motivating and positive workout for all fitness levels.Jillian Barrell in Auguste Bournonville’s “Napoli.” Photo by Alexander Iziliaev.
