慢板 / 控制组合
源于意大利语 ad agio，意为从容、休闲。在芭蕾中有两个含义：（1）中间练习之后的一系列练习，由一连串缓慢优雅的动作组成，以流畅自如的方式执行。这些练习培养持久力、线条感、平衡感和优雅的姿态。Adagio 的主要动作包括 pliés, développés, grand fouetté en tournant, dégagés, grand rond de jambe, rond de jambe en l'air, coupés, battements tendus, attitudes, arabesques 以及各种 pirouettes 的准备和转圈。（2）古典大双人舞的开场段落，女舞者在男舞伴的协助下完成缓慢动作和托举，展现优雅、线条和完美平衡。
Adage is a French word derived from the Italian ad agio, meaning at ease or leisure. English ballet teachers use “adage,” the French adaptation, while Americans prefer the original Italian. In dancing it has two meanings: (1) A series of exercises following the centre practice, consisting of a succession of slow and graceful movements which may be simple or of the most complex character, performed with fluidity and apparent ease. These exercises develop a sustaining power, sense of line, balance and the beautiful poise which enables the dancer to perform with majesty and grace. The principal steps of adagio are pliés, développés, grand fouetté en tournant, dégagés, grand rond de jambe, rond de jambe en l’air, coupés, battements tendus, attitudes, arabesques, preparations for pirouettes and all types of pirouettes. (2) The opening section of the classical pas de deux, in which the ballerina, assisted by her male partner, performs the slow movements and enlèvements in which the danseur lifts, supports or carries the danseuse. The danseuse thus supported exhibits her grace, line and perfect balance while executing développés, pirouettes, arabesques and so on, and achieves combinations of steps and poses which would be impossible without the aid of her partner.
