a la secconde turn is what i think you are thinking of!. The leg is help at a 90 degree angle on the side of you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

grande pirouettes!? arabesque turn!? i would imagine you are referring to grande pirouettes; when you (usually) do turns with your leg in second at a 90 degree angle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its either an alasecond turn (leg to the side) or and arabesque turn (leg to the back!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is either a pirouette a la seconde, or a fouette turn, or maybe an arabesque turn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
