"demi-pointe"এর সংজ্ঞা এবং অর্থ

What is "demi-pointe"?

Demi-pointe is a ballet position where the dancer rises onto the balls of the feet while keeping the heels slightly off the ground. The term "demi-pointe" means "half-point" in French, indicating that the dancer is not on full pointe but rather in a lower, more controlled position. This position is used to achieve a sense of elevation and to develop strength and flexibility in the feet and ankles. Demi-pointe is commonly practiced in various ballet exercises and is an essential skill for executing jumps, turns, and other movements with precision and grace.
