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.
