- African proverb
Allegro [a-lay-GROH;
Italian: al-LAY-groh]
Allegro is the
opposite of adage. In ballet terms, it means fast, lively movements and jumps. All
steps of allegro are made on elevation for example; sautes, jetes, entrechat,
cabriole, assemble and several others. The dancers must show smooth and light movements
to correctly execute an allegro combination. With that, an allegro sequence
uses fast tempo music, with choreography to match the speed.
