What is an "assemblé"?

In ballet, an assemblé is a jumping movement where the dancer leaps into the air and brings both legs together before landing. To perform an assemblé, the dancer pushes off the ground with one leg, while the other leg is extended or in preparation. In mid-air, both legs come together, usually in a closed position, before landing gracefully on both feet. The assemblé demonstrates coordination and control, and it is a fundamental step used in various ballet routines.

Examples

The dancer executed a perfect assemblé across the stage.

She practiced the assemblé to improve her turnout.
