The leg ends up in a bent position, with the foot positioned right above the standing leg's knee cap, making a triangle shape. Passé is sometimes confused with the ballet position, retiré de cote. Whereas passé is the actual movement, retiré is the position. They're often interchanged, however. You can also find the passé in other dance forms, such as jazz, modern and more.
