Échappé on the points or toes. Fifth position
R foot front. Demi-plié and, with a little spring, open the feet to the second
or fourth position sur les pointes. The feet should glide rapidly to the open
position and both feet must move evenly. On reaching the open position both
knees must be held taut. With a little spring return to the fifth position in
demi-plié. If the échappé is done in the second position the R foot may be
closed either front or back. In échappé to the fourth position facing en face,
croisé or effacé, the movement is done from the fifth position to the fourth
position without change.
