To understand the difference between a relevé and an élevé, it's good to first understand what a plié is. Écarté is one of the eight directions of the body, Cecchetti method. The working leg is thrust into the air, the underneath leg follows and beats against the first leg, sending it higher. This is because it is unsafe and unpractical to rise on to the tips of the toes if not properly supported by pointe shoes. A complete turn of the body on one foot, on point or demi-pointe. Both knees must be kept straight. A term used to describe a lowering of the body made by bending the knee of the supporting leg. A dancer can plié in different positions, such as first position, or land a jump in a plié and even go en pointe on plié. English words for élève include student, pupil, boy, schoolboy and schoolgirl. A bending of the knee or knees. Relevé is a ballet step that is taught to beginner’s in some of the earliest classes. In all pliés the legs must be well turned out from the hips, the knees open and well over the toes, and the weight of the body evenly distributed on both feet, with the whole foot grasping the floor. A dancer relevéing to demi-pointe will raise their heels while trying to relax their toe joints so they can have be in a “high demi-pointe” which would describe the dancer’s heel being high off the ground. Demi-plié with R foot retiré devant; step on the R foot in demi-plié to the second position, turning en dedans one half-turn and thrusting the L leg to the second position en l’air; push off the floor with the R foot and complete the turn, traveling to the side of the extended leg and landing on the L foot in fondu with the R leg bent in retiré devant. See Tour de reins. In reference to a particular step (for example, glissade derriére), the addition of derrière implies that the working foot is closed at the back. Six crossings. For example, a dancer can do a relevé in all the positions of the feet (first, second, fourth and fifth), and also in positions like arabesque or attitude. Because engaging the thigh muscles and “lifting” the knee cap in order to maintain straight legs, a relevé exercise ends up conditioning and working the thigh muscles. This jeté is done in all directions and in a circle. For example, pas de deux. The crossing of the legs with the body placed at an oblique angle to the audience. However, only the relevé requires a demi-plié. Ballet definition, a classical dance form demanding grace and precision and employing formalized steps and gestures set in intricate, flowing patterns to create expression through movement. Fifth position R foot front. Entrechats are counted from two to ten according to the number of crossings required and counting each crossing as two movements, one by each leg; that is, in an entrechat quatre each leg makes two distinct movements.

In ballet it is a position of the body, in profile, supported on one leg, which can be straight or demi-plié, with the other leg extended behind and at right angles to it, and the arms held in various harmonious positions creating the longest possible line from the fingertips to the toes. Assembled or joined together. The Cecchetti method uses five principal arabesques; the Russian School (Vaganova), four; and the French School, two. In the Cecchetti assemblé both knees are bent and drawn up after the battement so that the flat of the toes of both feet meet while the body is in the air. Demi-plié, dégagé the R foot to the second position and jump on it lightly in demi-plié, crossing the L foot behind the R ankle and inclining the head and body to the right. Large battement. This is the classical fourth position but it may also be done with the feet in the first position, only separated by the space of one foot. Battements tendus may also be done with a demi-plié in the first or fifth position. The direction of the body is effacé with the body inclining backward or forward with each change of weight. Three-quarters of the turn should be made with the R foot in position on the supporting knee. In the French and Russian Schools the feet are completely crossed so that the heel of the front foot touches the toe of the back foot and vice versa. These positions are used in some Russian schools.
