What is a "pas de chat"?
A pas de chat is a ballet step involving a quick, graceful sideways jump. During the move, the dancer leaps to the side, lifting one knee up towards the chest while bringing the other leg to join it in mid-air. The name "pas de chat" translates to "step of the cat" in French, reflecting the light, cat-like quality of the movement. The dancer typically lands softly on both feet, with the legs coming together in a closed position. The pas de chat emphasizes agility and smoothness, adding elegance and fluidity to ballet routines.
