"A circus acrobat can jump over ten people in a row. His dexterity will amaze us, but we cannot consider that he has elevation. It is a mechanical trick, made possibly by well-trained muscles. In dance elevation, ballon must be added to the jump.
Under the term ballon, we understand the ability of a dancer to hold in the air a pose or position, which is customary for him on the ground. The dancer stops in the air, remains there as if suspended." (Agrippina Vaganova, Russian Ballet Technique, Dover Publications, 1969, p. 69)
