New in 2.0: a fresh design, Quiz mode, and every term spoken aloud. Learn the language of ballet, one plié at a time. BalletLingo is a pocket dictionary of ballet for students, teachers, parents and anyone who loves the art form. Look up what a term means, hear how it's said, and test yourself until it sticks. OVER 200 TERMS ACROSS 9 CATEGORIES Movements, positions and technique, alongside the dancers, choreographers, composers, ballets, companies and schools behind them. Every entry has a clear definition, a fuller explanation and its own artwork. HEAR IT SAID Tap the pronunciation to hear each term spoken aloud, in French, Russian or whichever language it comes from. Glissade, sissonne, fouetté: no more guessing. QUIZ YOURSELF Pick a category and a round of 5, 10 or 20 questions. Match terms to their meanings, name the term from a picture, and watch your "terms learned" grow. Terms you find harder come up more often, and you can review the ones you missed at the end of each round. FIND ANYTHING FAST Browse by category with the A–Z index, or search by name or meaning. DESIGNED FOR iPhone, iPad AND Mac Rebuilt for iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26, with full-width artwork and Liquid Glass, in light and dark mode. WORKS OFFLINE, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Everything is on your device, so it works in the studio with no signal. No ads, no tracking and no account needed. BalletLingo explains the language of ballet. It doesn't replace a teacher for learning technique, but it'll help you follow every class.

Meh. No diagrams.

Lots of definitions? Yes. Diagrams / videos so you can really work on your technique? No.

Thanks for the honest feedback. You’re right that BalletLingo isn’t a technique course. It’s a dictionary of ballet terms, with what each one means, how to say it, and where it comes from, for dancers, parents and audiences who want to understand the language of ballet. We don’t include videos, and we’d always recommend a qualified teacher for working on technique.That said, we’ve heard you on visuals. The next update adds illustrated sketches of positions, starting with plié, along with a quiz mode and spoken pronunciation for every term. If there are particular terms you’d most like to see illustrated, you can tell us through the feedback feature on any entry.
