Sissonne Avant | Ballet West Glossary

Today's #BalletWestGlossary video is Sissone Changée en Avant featuring Principal Artist Hadriel Diniz and Soloist David Huffmire. ⭐🩰
Did you know that Sissone is actually the name of the originator of the step? It refers to a jump where a dancer springs from both feet onto one foot while the other leg is extended. "Avant" means "forward" and "changée" means to change. So, this particular Sissone is executed forward, with changing feet.
