Battement dégagé

Battement dégagé
[bat-MAHN day-ga-ZHAY

Disengaged battement. A term of the Cecchetti method. The battement dégagé is similar to the battement tendu but is done at twice the speed and the working foot rises about four inches from the floor with a well-pointed toe, then slides back into the the first or fifth position. Battements dégagés strengthen the toes, develop the instep and improve the flexibility of the ankle joint. Same as battement tendu jeté (Russian School), battement glissé (French School).

@FyreBalletDancer I'm a teacher. Some exercises have what we (at our school and schools I know nearby) call an "Cecchetti accent". Apparantly, this term is not used worldwide. Maybe just in Europe, or even just by my teachers.
