dancingin the sun Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yesterday in class we did a preperation for a pirouette (en dehor from fourth position). I think I heard the teacher say the preperation was "temps lie, chasse, pas de bourree and then pirouette en dehor from fouth". I am wondering specifically about 'temps lie'? Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted September 11, 2007 Administrators Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 It was probably a temps levé chassé pas de bourrée Quote Link to comment
dancingin the sun Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ok - this is probably a really stupid question .. but here I go anyways... I thought that temps leve was a jump and the first step of the combo was more of a glide (started in fifth, left foot front, facing front and then the left foot 'glided' or reached out to the side, then chasse then pas de bourree into fourth, then a pirouette. This is what I thought happened - but I could have misunderstood. Quote Link to comment
minty Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 In France, we do say "temps lié" meaning "linked step" , and it's done like you describe : a glissé in order to balance your weigh from two feet to the front one, and the combination we do is "temps lié, chassé,pas de bourrée, pirouette" too...

Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted September 11, 2007 Administrators Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 How do chassé from the open position, if your foot is out to the side? A temps lié changes weight, and moves through second or fourth position. This can be done with a chassé movement, but I thought you meant that you did a temps lié and then a chassé? I'm just not sure what you mean. Quote Link to comment
