Hi, good question, and I'm happy to help!.

Relevé in fifth position simply rises and the toes stay where they were in fifth!. The end result has the balls of the feet about three or four inches apart!.

Sous-sus or Sus-sous is typically executed from fifth position, a dancer rises up onto the pointes or demi-pointes with the feet touching and ankles crossed in a particularly tight fifth position relevé!. This can be performed in place or traveling forward, backward or to the side!. At the barre after the plié exercises is part of the warm up for center pointe work!. Sous-sus is a term of the Cecchetti school, while sus-sous is used in the French and Russian schools!.

Good luck and hope I helped!.?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Releve in fith your feet stays where they are!. However, when one is in sous-sous your front foot quikley changes to meet one's back foot!.

My dance teacher usually specifies whether or not she wants us to go into susu (sp!?) or just releve, in which case we would just go onto demi point without sliding our foot over to be in fifth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a releve is where you just go up and when you move ur front foor infrom of ur back foot in 5th thats a susu (or how ever you spell it)Www@QuestionHome@Com

just a plain releve in fifth you leave your feet where they are!. If it is a susu then you slide up your feet togheter so that from the front it looks like one foot with two anklesWww@QuestionHome@Com
