What is an "échappé"?
An échappé is a ballet movement where the dancer jumps or slides from a closed position to an open position. The term "échappé" means "escaped" in French, reflecting the action of the feet moving apart. To perform an échappé, the dancer starts with their feet together in a closed position, then jumps or slides the feet outward, landing softly in an open position. This step is often used to add variation and lightness to a sequence of movements, and it helps to develop strength and control in the legs and feet.
