Name of a ballet move similar to a fouette?

You turn with one leg out and straight at 90 degrees. I know it sounds like 'alsacone' but I don't know the proper spelling or term for it.

It is called an A La Seconde turn, sometimes know as a Forte (Fortay). Similar to a Fouette, only the leg en l'air does not bend in with the foot at the knee. In A La Seconde the leg stays straight!

That's what I know it as, too- alesacone.
an arabesque turn
A la seconde turns (mainly done by men)
i call it a turn in second lol

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?

Ppl who do ballet...?headache

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!

Ppl who do ballet...?paramount theater opera theaterActually, where they keep the leg out is called a 'Tor' and yes they are very difficult. Probably harder than a fuete which is what Dancingal described. Report It


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.

A la Seconde:http://youtube.com/watch?v=OE_LpJj4hm4

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.

I need a clear and simple definition of this term.

A ballet company is basically a group of classically trained dancers that put on shows and train together. American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet are both examples of ballet companies. They are very prestigious and kinda hard to get into now that there are soo many good dancers

How long will ballet flats be around?

How long do you think this trend will stay? I hope they stick around because they are super cute, appropriate in all four seasons, and of course, much more comfortable than a heel, though elegant and fashionable as well.

How long will ballet flats be around?ms stress

They will always be around! a cute pair of black leather flats should be a staple in any woman's wardrobe!

How long will ballet flats be around?home theater system opera theater

Do you wear ballet flats in the winter?

how do you wear them barefoot? it's gets kinda too cold for that...

Do you wear ballet flats in the winter?binoculars

just when its not snowing...cuz if snow gets on your bare feet,,,,it gets very cold...and then it melts....:]

Do you wear ballet flats in the winter?violin opera theater

I do!

I wear them with nude colored socks. It really doesn't look that bad.
i do
yeah, i would wear them with knee high socks, or just really colorful ones.
yup they are too cute not to wear in winter
Heck yes I do...I love my ballet flats girlfriend.
If it's too cold for you, then don't wear them unless you're going to be able to take it. Personally, everyone I know (and in my town) wear sandals throughout the winter, so I wouldn't think too much about ballet flats.
Yes!!! flats are an year-round accessory!
yes i love mine i wear almost everyday
I do.

I wear them with socks or stay barefoot. It usually doesn't get that cold, where I am, to where I can't wear them.
no especially if there is snow around you. then it just loooks retartded
Yes!! Ballet flats are so cute and comfortable! You can wear them all year round ~ in the summer, fall, spring, and even the winter!!! Where I live, the climate is pretty mild and sunny the whole year, so I am lucky I can wear that kinda thing. But if you live in like a place where it snows or rains a lot, please please please DO NOT wear ballet flats in the winter! Your feet will freeze! So, meduim-warm weather = good for ballet flats, extremely cold-rainy-snowy weather = very bad for ballet flats!!!

? Hope this helps! ?
Where I live it is way too cold for that! I would get frostbite! LOL! I stick to my warm and fuzzy Uggs in the winter :)
ofcourse but with soxs under it

Im interested in ballet... i have never done any form of prof. training before... i am 27 is it hard

Im interested in ballet... i have never done any form of prof. training before... i am 27 is it hard?sunshine opera theater

Ballet is tough. And 27 is a bit late in life to start, but have fun anyways.
yeah and it woulds be better if u got into it earlier, requires alot of work and flexibility. but u can still do it, i mean its never too late, but its still the best to start soemthing when youre young. (under 20)

if not try something like yoga
If that is really what you want to do, do it. I always wanted to dance, but never did until one day. I realized that it was something I wanted to do so much, embarrassment, my age, my excuse of a busy schedule, didn't matter. Its not easy, but nothing fulfilling ever is. I know that if you really want it you will do it, no advice needed, its just what you want to do. It doesn't matter how old you are if its what you really want, its only an obstacle if you see it as one. Good luck in whatever you choose.sry I have no idea about ballet classes in Jamaica
Dancefit Jamaica limited offers adult dancing lessons. I am not sure if I can post their email address here. but email me and I will give you there email address as well as a contact telephone number. you can see what they have to offer.
its never too late to start dacing!!! fair enough ballet is probs one of the hardest forms of dance and does require alot of hard work but im sure if your dedicated enough you will be fine. the most important thing is that your having fun!!

My daughter's ballet class teacher called me FACIST cause my daughter doesn't want to go t

make her go to the classes

My daughter's ballet class teacher called me FACIST cause my daughter doesn't want to go to the class but I maopera score

Well, my question for you is why are you making your daughter go to the dance classes if she doesn't want to? Why would you force your daughter to take ballet?

My daughter's ballet class teacher called me FACIST cause my daughter doesn't want to go to the class but I mamusicals opera theater

ignore it
1st off the teacher is not a good teacher. If she is calling you that, you need to tell her boss or stand up to her. She needs to mind her buisiness anyways.
lol, bad use of term, she might as well call you a commie. But the question is, if she doesn't wanna do it, why make her%26gt;??? she's not gonna be happy about it, why don't you just ask her what she wants to do???
well how old is your daughter? If she's old enough to make her own decisions, then don't force her. But if she's only like 5 or something then she may thank you in the long run
and?

maybe you are a little, why dont you let your daughter do what she wants?
What is the question? LOL.

Yeah, no matter what her opinion on your methods, it's not her place to call you that. It's a bad idea, too, to alienate children against their own parents. The three of you might want to talk it over, whether or not it's a good idea for your daughter to continue. 8 years old is not old enough to make decisions, but certrainly old enough to have her preferences and desires.
Your daughter is 8. You get to make all the decisions about her upbringing. Perhaps you need a new dance teacher; one that can make dancing fun for your daughter.

You should also do whatever you can to make the experience a fun one for her. No fun, she wont; but if it's fun, she will want to do it. Be creative. Also, for your daughter to think dancing is fun, it must be fun for YOU.
Two issues, one is the issue of the dance teacher who lacks manners. If she is going to talk to you that way, I can imagine why your daughter does not want to go. I personally would not want to spend another penny or another minute supporting a persom who would talk to me like that.

Second issue is the issue about sending your daughter to the class even though she did not want to continue. The folks who told you to let her do what she wants are probably kids themselves.

I am not any kind of expert but I am a high school teacher ahd I see what kids are lacking by the time they get to my class. Most of them are lacking commitment and follow through. If she signed up for a class that is designed to lads for a certain number of weeks then she should go until the class is finished and if dance is not her thing or this is not her favorite teacher then she should be free to choose another activity or sport.

It is great to give kids a chance to explore different sports and activities until they fine one they can be passionate about. I would recommend you have her explore some of these sports and activities during the next year or two and tell her that she choose one that she wants to stick with by the 6th or 7th grade.

Then she will have the middle school years to get good at her activity of choice by high school. Once in high school if she has an activity, she can get involved with it in high school. This will help her make friends, keep out of some trouble, gain her opportunity to earn scholarships, while she learns about commitment and follow through and practice etc.

She needs to have some choice of activity that she likes but she needs to a.) follow through with her commitment b.) try it long enough to know if she really likes it or not and c.) choose something to be involved with before high school.

You are not a facist for wanting your child to participate in something healthy and productive. That teacher was wrong and deserves to know that and if she has a boss her boss deserves to know too.
#1. dance teacher is out of line for saying that. you need to contact his/her superior.

#2. if your child is genuinely uninterested in this dance class, either find another one or find something else that she will enjoy. neither one of you should feel stressed or agitated about a supposed 'fun' activity....
