In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Professeur de danse classique” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1803 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Professeur de danse classique” meme mean?
The meme pays tribute to the way a ballet teacher rattles off a combination without taking a breath, as if in an unknown language. It evokes the feel of impenetrable jargon and the dizziness of beginners facing an instruction delivered too fast. People use it to illustrate an explanation that runs too quickly, an expert speaking their own vocabulary, or instructions you will never remember. The rhythm of the speech, punctuated with “one, and two, and three,” gives it a comic, almost musical effect.
Where does the “Professeur de danse classique” meme come from?
The words in the speech belong to the real vocabulary of ballet, which is in French all over the world: an échappé is a movement where the feet open from a closed position, entrechat, brisé, glissade, cabriole, jeté, pas de bourrée and plié are other classical steps or movements. The meme strings these terms together in a burst, in the voice of a teacher giving a combination to the class, and the result sounds like gibberish to the uninitiated.
