hope this helped, its hard to think of really. Yoiu might know and have different names for these, but this is what my studio calls them, so yeah.

First I would suggest that you obtain any dictionary of Classical Ballet Terms. There is a good one by Gail Grant. You can go to TheatrerDance.com/dictionary.html. By going to the dictionary you will also get the CORRECT spelling of the steps. There are really too many steps to list seperately...like:SAUTE (hop) one foot other leg in passe, attitude, arabesque, or 2nd .... straight up hop then there is turning... inward or outward, single , double..... From Two feet.......in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, changement, royale, air tour, from one foot to two feet or two feet to one foot.... See what I mean about so many. Use a computer and enter ballet terms or jazz terms...... Hope this will help
