Dance terms
One dance term is called the ball change, this consists of two steps:
or a partial weight transfer on the ball of a foot behind or by the
other foot, followed by a step on the other foot.
Another is called chasse, Chasse is a dance step with a triple step
pattern used in many forms of dance. It is a gliding, flowing step
with the feet essentially following a step together step pattern.
Next is a ballroom dance figure called heel turn, which during the
last step the moving foot passes the support foot, rather than
closes to it.
Another is called the thunder cap, The Thunder Clap is a form of
dance that incorporates clapping in the air with a sliding motion. To
perform this dance one must raise one hand and then with the
second hand meet the first one half way making a clapping sound;
that hand must then fully extend. This motion is repeated to the
beat of the music.
Finally, another move that is part of dance terminology is called
Allegro: The part of a dance class, divided into petit ("small") and
grand ("large") allegro, where exercises for jumps, turns and
travelling are performed; a musical composition performed at a
brisk and lively tempo.
