Ballet Terms

Adage, Adagio (a-DAHZH)	At ease or at leisure It is a series of slow, graceful exercises during the centre practice which is generally focused on line, balance and fluidity. It takes lots of practice to gain the stability and control whilst still having a sense of fluid movement.
Allégro (a-lay-GROH)	Bright and brisk movements This ballet term is associated to all jumps in ballet. So, whether it is petite allégro, or grand allégro a dancer will aim to show a sense of ballon and spring in the elevation.
