What is a "cabriole"?
A cabriole is a ballet step where the dancer performs a jump in which one leg is extended and kicked into the air, while the other leg is lifted to meet it in a beating motion. The term "cabriole" means "goat" in French, reflecting the leaping, kicking action of the movement. To execute a cabriole, the dancer jumps from one leg, extends the other leg upward, and then brings the extended leg back down to meet the supporting leg before landing. This step showcases the dancer's agility and strength, and it adds a lively and dramatic element to ballet choreography.
