4. releve-to rise
5. rond de jambe-on the floor, front, side, back or visa-versa
6. de'gage- a petite battement a third of the way off the floor
7. grand jete'- a big leap like a split in the air
8. soutenu- a sou sou turn
9. pirouette- to turn- prepare then turn in passe
10. pas de bourre'e-back, side, front
11. chasse'- slide your legs open to second position
12. tombe'-a bent knee before doing a pas de bourre'e
13. chaine'- up on balls of feet and turn from first position to second
14. coupe'- between knee and ankle
15. battement- a 90 degree angle to front, side, or back
16. developpe'-go through sur las coudepied (at the ankle), coupe', passe, attitude (between passe and battement), battment, and close
17. pique'- to prick
