Passé is a classical ballet term meaning “passed.” It refers to the movement when a dancer goes through a retiré position, which is when one leg is bent so it looks like a triangle with the foot placed near the other leg’s knee.
In class, passé may be used instead of retiré to describe the position of a leg.
For example, a teacher may say “Higher passés in your pirouettes ladies!” Both terms are accepted and understood to mean the same thing.
