Hi I'm Eileen O'Brien for Expert Village in Suncoast Dance Academy in this clip we will
be demonstrating glissade a sideways movement in our beginner ballet. Demonstrating for
me today is Jolene Stevens she's starting in a first position, heels together, toes
turned out and she's doing a pliƩ and the right leg extends and she glides. The movement
is suppose to mimic that of a person gliding on ice or gliding across the ice, Jolene is
doing first position now she will show us the same step in third position. Closing in
third position again gliding and gliding and back, beautiful and now she's going to do
a glissade combination called glissade sanja. Alternating the changing from front to back
and again lots of pliƩ and glide and glide, that was beautiful Jolene and that concludes
our glissade.
