Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Maybe you are talking about a sesome!? You start in fifth position, plie jump with both feet at the same time, the front coming forward, the back going backward!. (the back leg will be much higher) then land back in fifth position at the same time!. Legs come AT THE SAME TIME they can land one before the other!.

An assemble: Usually you do a glisse or something before it, however regardless you will be in fifth position!. there are several different types of assembles however the most common is The back leg comes out to the side you jump and bring your other leg up to that leg and they "assemble" in the air!. You then land in fifth position!. You can do it forward and backward however!.

a tom la flesh!?
I know that's not how you spell it!.!.I don't know how!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

ciseaux ["scissors"]!. Opening the legs, like the blades of a pair of scissors, to a wide second position; may be jumped!. Not to be confused with sissonne!. -- I believe you just plie and land in second for the jump, typically from first, third, or fifth position!.

assemblé ["assembled"]!. A jump: plié, brushing working leg out!. Jump!. Bring both legs together ("assemble" them) while in midair; land on both feet!. The brush can be to the front, the side, or the back!.

Edit: I think you're right!. It's likely a sissonne!. Off to find a video just to make sure!. =)
