     Pointe work is an essential component of ballet; it is also important in hiplet, but here pointe work has a different, more grounded effect. Dancers master movements like the hiplet strut — walking on pointe with hips that sway from side to side — or bend their knees until their buttocks nearly brush the floor while hopping on pointe and swishing their arms back and forth. Nia Lyons, an 18-year-old hiplet dancer, calls this the duck walk.

Although common during the late 18th and 19th centuries, roofs with hiplet terminals at both ends were little used before that period, and never predate the second half of the 16th century.
