What is "développé"?
Développé is a ballet movement where the dancer smoothly lifts one leg and extends it outward to a straight position, either to the front, side, or back. To perform a développé, the dancer begins by drawing the working leg up along the supporting leg and then extends it fully while maintaining control and balance. This movement highlights the dancer's strength, flexibility, and control, as it requires a sustained, graceful motion with a high level of precision.
