Hey, here is a great website!. I used it when I was first getting started to help me learn the names of moves!. Now I've been taking ballet for 7 years and I love it!.

A few common ballet moves on it include arabesque, battement, plie, releve, etc!.!.!. I believe all the terms also include a video or picture demonstration!.

It is a really reliable source because it is compiled by the American Ballet Theater!. I hope I helped :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
