What is a "fish dive"?
A fish dive is a dramatic movement in contemporary dance or modern ballet where one dancer lifts another into the air, often while the lifted dancer arches their body backward in a sweeping motion. The term "fish dive" refers to the way the lifted dancer's movement resembles a fish diving or arching through water. During the lift, the dancer being lifted might extend their arms and legs, creating a flowing and graceful shape. The fish dive requires strong technique and coordination between the dancers to ensure a smooth and safe execution, and it adds a dynamic and visually striking element to the choreography.
