Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
LECON- Lesson!. The daily class taken by dancers throughout their career to continue learning and to maintain technical proficiency!. It consists of exercices à la barre (side practice) followed by exercices au milieu (centre practice), port de bras, pirouette practice and petit and grand allégro!. See these terms!.

BARRE- The exercises at the bar can be simple or varied but in general they include the following movements:
Pliés in the first, second, fourth and fifth positions!.
Battements tendus!.
Battements dégagés!.
Battements fondus!.
Ronds de jambe à terre!.
Battements frappés!.
Adagio!.

CENTRE-Centre practice, or exercices au milieu, is the name given to a group of exercises similar to those à la barre but performed in the centre of the room without the support of the bar!. These exercises are usually performed with alternate feet and are invaluable for obtaining good balance and control!.

petit and grande ALLEGRO-Brisk, lively!. A term applied to all bright and brisk movements!. All steps of elevation such as the entrechat, cabriole, assemblé, jeté and so on, come under this classification!. The majority of dances, both solo and group, are built on allegro!. The most important qualities to aim at in allégro are lightness, smoothness and ballon!.

Petits battements sur le cou-de-pied!.
Ronds de jambe en l'air!.
Grands battements!.

PORT DE BRAS-Carriage of the arms!. The term port de bras has two meanings: (1) A movement or series of movements made by passing the arm or arms through various positions!. The passage of the arms from one position to another constitutes a port de bras!. (2) A term for a group of exercises designed to make the arms move gracefully and harmoniouslyWww@QuestionHome@Com
