Any ballet experts??? PLEASE RESPOND!!!?

Question

ok...i have this stupid 'ballet homework.' we have to get the definitions for 2 words--esamble and something else. the something else is where you jump in like an arabesque and get your foot [that is in the air] as high as you can. i know it has an 's' in the first syllable. soooo...i need the definitions for those two words and the ballet term for the word i cant figure out. THANK YOU!!!

Answer 1

Assemble (accent over the second "e") literally means "to assemble," i.e., assembling/putting together your two legs in the air.
Sissone is the second word you are looking for, and it was named for its "inventor."
Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Well i can't say im right but the first one i think is Ensemble: where you jusp of two legs and land on two but before you land you assemble your feet in fith position. For the second one it sound like two jumps, sissonne Fairme: which is a jump from two legs to two legs opening the front leg about 25 degrees (higher as you get more confident) and the back let at about 45/50 degrees (again higher as you get more confident) or your jump could be Sissonne Fairme Fondu: wichis basicallythe same as Sissonne Fairme but you jump from two legs and land on one leg because you bring the back leg in slowly.
Hope this helps you!
If you do alot of this in ballet it may be worth while to get a book of ballet terms and highlight the ones you do in class.
