Battement fondu développé [bat-MAHN fawn-DEW dayv-law-PAY] |
| Battement, sinking
down, developed. This is
an exercise in which the supporting
leg is slowly bent in
fondu with the working foot
pointing on the ankle. As
the supporting leg is straightened,
the working leg unfolds
and is extended to point on
the floor or in the air. The
movement is done devant,
derrière and à
la seconde. In fondu forward,
the conditional position sur
le cou-de-pied devant
is used. In fondu back, the
basic position sur le cou-de-pied
derrière is used.
