Promenade, tour de [toor duh prawm-NAD] |
| Turn in a walk. A term of the
French School used to indicate
that the dancer turns slowly
in place on one foot by a
series of slight movements
of the heel to the required
side while maintaining a definite
pose such as an arabesque
or attitude.
The turn may be performed
either en dedans or
en dehors. In a pas
de deux, the ballerina
on point holds her pose and
is slowly turned by her partner
who walks around her holding
her hand. |
