Today we are talking about coupé and sur le cou-de-pied! Although these terms get used interchangeably often they are two distinct actions and it is good to know the difference.
Sur le cou-de-pied is a position and it means “on the neck of the foot”. I was always taught that sur le cou-de-pied is when the foot is wrapped around the ankle and cou-de-pied is the position the foot takes when it is fully pointed in front of the ankle (devant) or behind the ankle (derriere). All of these positions are forms of sur le cou-de-pied and there are even additional positions in some forms of ballet. In this video I am mostly distinguishing between the two terms but I also briefly touch on common mistakes in cou-de-pied.

Coupé is an action that means “to cut” where one leg is cutting in front of or behind and replacing the other leg. This can be seen in many different forms throughout a ballet class. The most important distinction is that one is a position and one is a movement much like passe and retire, check out my videos on those terms below. ↓
