In Ballet, "tendu" is a French term that means "stretched." It refers to a movement where the dancer extends one leg outward from a closed position, keeping the toes on the floor, and then returns to the original position. This exercise helps to develop strength, flexibility, and control in the feet and legs. Tendu is often used as a fundamental building block in various ballet techniques.

Fondu and tendu are both ballet terms related to how the foot moves. Fondu means "to melt" and involves bending the supporting leg while the working leg's foot is drawn up and then extended, often used to create a smooth transition. Tendu, on the other hand, means "to stretch" and involves sliding the foot along the floor to extend the leg without lifting it. Essentially, fondu focuses on bending and melting into the movement, while tendu emphasizes stretching and reaching out.
