Ppl who do ballet...?

what are those turns where you like start out with a pirouette and then you keep your leg straight and perpendicular to your body and you just keep going round and round and round. haha

yea they look so cool. i just want to know what they are called. Are they hard to do?

Sounds like a fuete. (not sure of the spelling there, haha.) Do you mean the turn where you start with a pirouette and then one leg whips out and around and back in? That's a fuete, and they're pretty hard. =) Hope that helped!

I think they're called ronde de jambe (not sure of spelling). A few in a row aren't hard, but the perfect positioning IS hard.
Well our studio calls them a la seconde fuetes (not sure about sp.) A la seconde because thats where your non-supporting leg is. In a posse fuete, you start out with a pirouette then your non-supporting leg goes from posse while your supporting leg is in releve, then devant/plie, a la seconde/plie then back to posse/releve

A'la second turns? Or fouettes en tournout? Arabesque turns?

All of those are really hard to do...
furetuetes er somthing

i've never tried it

for fear of hurting myself
Sounds like a fouette to me. Not hard, you just have to keep your balance and spot. And keep your weight over the balls of your feet.
It is either a fouette or an a la seconde turn.

The a la seconde video is not a professional video like the first one...But it is the only decent video I could find. I find that fouettes are hard. Especially on pointe. But if you keep your center muscles in and tight and you spot you should be able to get it. Good Luck!
im pretty sure its a fuete (nevermind my spelling). If you really dont know, just ask your ballet teacher...if you do ballet that is.
that would be a fuette.

and yeah, they take some practice.
