What is a "sissonne"?
A sissonne is a ballet jump where the dancer leaps from both feet and lands on one foot. To perform a sissonne, the dancer starts in a plié position, then jumps into the air, usually extending one leg while the other leg remains in a bent position. The landing is made on one foot, with the other leg either extended or in a particular position. This jump helps to showcase the dancer's strength and control and adds a dynamic element to ballet routines.
