If you're referring to the Ballet step 'soutenu', which means 'sustained' in French, then this step involved bending the knee of your supporting leg whilst extending your other leg along the ground in a tendu, in any direction, and sliding it along the floor to the next position (like a rond de jambe) before straightening your knee.
Being more general, this could mean lengthening each step or move so that they flow together more smoothly, or maintaining muscle tension in a step.

∙ 12y agoSustenuto, you just answered it yourself. It means sustained. It is usually the right pedal of the piano, and it allows you to sustain the sound of notes while still playing.
There is also fermata, which also means sustained. In fermata, you hold the note(s) longer than the note value written.
However, there is no formal term "sustained" in music. If you mean by how a long a note can be sustained, I can show you with an example. If you play a note on the piano, how long it sustains means how long you can still hear the note without playing it again.
