# Reference: Gail Grant, "Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet" (Relevé: raised from a plié)
# Reference: Agrippina Vaganova, "Basic Principles of Classical Ballet"
# Review status: Experimental (ballet UAT; pending peer review with dance-domain educator)
# Biomechanical note: Unlike an elevé, a classical relevé begins with a preparatory demi-plié
# before springing or pressing onto demi-pointe (balls of feet), and lowers back with control
# through demi-plié before recovering to straight legs.
