The destice is one of several names used for sequences of steps, which may have been coined by Caroso as they first appear appears in Nobilta di Dame. Santucci also uses them.

  • a saffice is one riprese sottopiede, followed by a trabuchetto in the same direction.
  • a destice has two riprese sottopiede before the trabuchetto
  • a corinto has three riprese sottopiede and then the trabuchetto
