Definição e Significado de "saute"

What is a "sauté"?

A sauté is a ballet movement where the dancer performs a jump from a standing position, typically using both feet to push off the ground and then landing softly. The term "sauté" means "jumped" in French. In a sauté, the dancer usually keeps the legs close together and the body aligned, with the aim of achieving a smooth, controlled ascent and descent. This step is fundamental in ballet, helping to develop strength, coordination, and proper technique in jumping. Sautés are often included in various exercises and routines to enhance the dancer's ability to perform jumps with grace and precision.
