What is a "glissade"?
A glissade is a ballet movement where the dancer glides or slides one foot along the floor, usually as part of a step or a transition between movements. To perform a glissade, the dancer begins by stepping one foot out, then smoothly slides the other foot to meet it while keeping both feet close to the ground. This movement helps to create a sense of flow and continuity in the dance, and it is often used to link steps or to prepare for jumps. The glissade emphasizes smooth, controlled motion and is a fundamental step in many ballet routines.
