Hello everyone.

Terminology
Demi point is the same as a relve in flats with one leg while the supporting leg stays flat on the ground.
Glissades are to the half toe to prepare for glissades on pointe.
Full Point is pointing your feet all the way like one is up in pointe shoes on one leg while the supporting leg stays flat on the ground.
Petite Changements do not leave the ground.
Releve is to go up on demi point with both of your legs.
