I think you're talking about a fouette (I really can't spell my ballet terms) So I don't know if its spelled right but I know that this what you're are talking about.

Pirouette
One of the most famous ballet movements; this is where the dancer spins around on demi-pointe or pointe on one leg. The other leg can be in various different positions; the standard one being retiré. Others include the leg in attitude, and grand battement level, second position. They can also finish in arabesque or attitude positions. A pirouette can be en dehors - turning outwards, starting with both legs in plie, or en dedans - turning inwards.

Those turns are called: Grandes fouettes en tournent.

Those are fouettes.
It's funny how ungraceful we make the thing sound when trying to describe it in words.

Sounds like a forte'. They're beautiful, but very difficult on point.
