意为“时间性的展开,展开性动作”。由于使用普遍,这一名称在习惯上已被简写为 développé。Développé 是一种把动力腿收到支撑腿膝盖处,再缓慢伸展到空中的一个打开位置、并以充分的控制保持在那里的动作。胯部保持水平,并与舞者所面对的方向保持方正。Développé 可做 à la quatrième devant、à la seconde 与 à la quatrième derrière 等方向,并可在身体的各个方向上完成。做的时候,支撑脚可平放地面,也可立于 demi-pointe、全脚尖(full point)或做 en fondu。在 Cecchetti 学派中,动力脚先收至 retiré 位置、脚尖指向膝盖侧面(retiré de côté),再向所需方向伸出。在俄罗斯学派与法国学派中,绷直的脚尖先收到 retiré devant 再向前伸出,或先收到 retiré derrière 再向后伸出。做向第二位置的 développé 时,前脚先收至 retiré devant 再伸出,或后脚先收至 retiré derrière 再伸出。
Time developed, developing movement. Through common usage the term has become abridged to développé. A développé is a movement in which the working leg is drawn up to the knee of the supporting leg and slowly extended to an open position en l’air and held there with perfect control. The hips are kept level and square to the direction in which the dancer is facing. Développés are performed à la quatrième devant, à la seconde and à la quatrième derrière and may be executed in all directions of the body. They are done with the supporting foot flat on the ground, on the demi-pointe, full point or en fondu. In the Cecchetti method, the working foot is brought up to the retiré position with the toe pointed at the side of the knee (retiré de côté) before extending the leg in the required direction. In the Russian and French Schools, the pointed toe is brought to retiré devant before extending the leg forward or to retiré derrière before extending the leg backward. When performing a développé to second position, the front foot is brought to retiré devant and then extended, or the back foot is brought to retiré derrière and then extended.
