We’ve learned about Sissonne Changee, but how about a normal Sissonne? This week’s #BalletWestGlossary video features Soloist David Huffmire and Demi-Soloist Vinicius Lima. . In French, the word “Cisauex” (similar pronunciation to Sissonne) means “scissor”. However, “Sissonne” is named after the man who invented the step. It is done by starting with two feet on the ground, jumping in the air, and landing on one foot. . . . #BalletWest #BalletEducation . #BalletWest #BalletEducation #Sissonne | B

In a sissonne, both legs have to work together as one unit. Think of the name—sissonne—like a pair of scissors. When you open and close scissors, both blades move in sync. That’s exactly how your legs should work in this step. You can’t have one leg doing something different from the other, or the movement will look uncoordinated. | Runqiao Du Ballet Coaching

Quick ballet myth-busting 👀 Sissonne does not mean “scissor.” The step is named after the Count of Sissonne, a French noble and cavalry officer from the 17th century. According to ballet history, his jumps were so sharp and dynamic that the movement took his name. Over time, because the legs open and close in the air, dancers assumed it came from ciseaux (scissors). Logical guess. Wrong answer. So next time someone says “like scissors,” you can politely say: “Nope. It’s a surname.” Ballet vocab
