Releve
A ballet term signifying a dramatic lifting of the heel and rising to the ball of the supporting foot; again, no weight change. In ballet, a woman's releve puts her onto the tips of her toes, and a man's releve puts him onto the ball of his foot, but of course, in round dancing, no one dances on pointe. The French school describes the releve as a steady rolling and rising from flat to ball. The Italian school recommends that the move be sharp and with a slight spring.
