Today we are talking about dégagé or battement jeté. Dégagé is an extension of tendu where the foot brushes off of the floor. The brush of your foot in dégagé comes from right under your toes and helps to build the base for petite allegro steps like jeté or assemblé
The rotation of your leg is what starts the dégagé just like in tendu. If you haven't seen my tendu video click here to watch it ↓

I also briefly touch on piqué in this video because it can be commonly combined with your dégagé excercise. It is important to remember in pique that the whole leg moves not just the foot or toes. Think of your leg as one solid piece. The tips of the toes touch the floor and rebound. We often use the imagery of the spinning wheel or of the floor being hot to teach that you want the movement to be quick and sharp.
