The Ballet Relevance
The releve is an important ballet step. It involves a dancer rising up from the floor on her toes, often in the fifth position. The term can be used in many positions and is a very common one in early classes. The releve can be performed on one leg, as in the arabesque, or in the attitude position. The goal of this ballet step is to strengthen the thigh muscles and engage the calves.
There are different positions a ballet releve can end in. The first position is demi-pointe, which is done with flat ballet shoes. A high demi-pointe is done with the heels off the floor and the toes flat on the floor. The second position is full pointe, which is performed by a female dancer in pointe shoes. It begins with the same basic steps as a ballet releve, but involves the use of pointe shoes and requires strength in the quadriceps.
A ballet releve may end in several different positions. If performed in flat ballet shoes, the ballet dancer would begin in the first position. Next, she would rise up to the demi-pointe position. This position is achieved by bending her knees halfway and lifting the heels toward the tips of the toes. The last type is a full pointe releve, which is done with pointe shoes. It requires strength in the quadriceps and is performed in a similar manner as a ballet releve.
