What is a "glide"?

A glide is a type of speech sound that functions as a transitional sound between a vowel and a consonant. Glides are produced with a relatively open vocal tract, allowing for smooth movement from one sound to another. In English, common examples of glides include the "w" sound in "water" and the "y" sound in "yes." Glides are important in phonetics because they help connect vowel and consonant sounds in speech, contributing to the flow and clarity of pronunciation in words and phrases.

What is a "glide"?

In dance, a glide is a smooth and continuous movement where the dancer appears to move effortlessly across the floor, often with minimal foot contact. The glide involves shifting weight from one foot to the other while maintaining a smooth, flowing motion. This technique is used to create an illusion of floating or sliding, and it is common in styles like hip-hop and contemporary dance. The glide requires balance and control to execute properly and to enhance the overall gracefulness of the dance performance.
