So, what do you like to do best? I like pirouettes; I've been working on triples (I can get up to 2 1/2) and torgetes (dont know how to spell it lol), and assambles.

LOL! I love torgetes too! I like pirouettes... I can do almost 4 in a row on my right side but left is only a double. I also like fourtes a lot (Dont know how to spell any of these words sry lol) Can you do fourtes??? I also like pointe work...
Assembles I like too.What are fortes? I've probably done them but don't know the word.
Fourtes are a turn... you like spin on one foot and the other one is like going through the posay position while you open and close your legs and arms. (So sry I have no clue how to spell any of this!)
I thought pique tournes were spelled pekay turns until I read a book about ballet. lol
Ballet steps have funky spelling cuz they come from French words or are French words.
For my project in Social Studies, I picked France.
i love torgetes (?)!!!! they are so much fun to do. i also like barre work.
We don't do it much in class since we have jazz and tap too.
Oh. Before Christmas, we do practice dances and in January, we do our ones for the recitals.
I like jumps the best so my favorite jump is Grand Jete.
I love coupe (coo-pay) turns, and fouetes (Foo-weh-tay-s). Fouetes are so fun to do!!! Pirouettes are fun and part of the fouetes, which makes it even better. But i love leaps and kicks. Grand jetes, and.. i don't know the official frenchy name for seconds, or some people call them russians. What is a torgete?
omg im a lefty too!! but i really hate ballet soooo....
I like doing pirouettes and I'm working on triples. I also like the jump where you do a split. Does it sound something like Short-it-shaw? Sorry, I've only done it once it ballet class, but I practice it all the time at home. But the one thing I hate is fondue's. They're usually so slow.
I like pirouettes too, and I'm also working on triples, but I am not very good!The leap with a split is Saut de Chat, pronounced So-da-shaw. Pretty close!! These are the types of leaps where you can developpe into the splits.
Uggghhh... I don't like fondue's either. Or anything where I have to slowly extend my leg!! It's slow and hard!!
How can you hate fondue's? I love them.
I realize how necessary barre is, but I would much rather be in the center working on jumps and turns and so forth. But I don't really care for fondues. But I do like doing attitudes, especially to the back,
I love balances (not balancing balances, but the step balance)! I feel so pretty when I do them and I love how different they can look depending on the music or performance. But I like everything because I LOVE BALLET!!!
I hate doing stuff in the middle of the floor, (forgot the name :()
you like cots? I hate them!!!! im bad at beats. my favorite thing is anything on pointe, turns are much easier on pointe!

I have lots of favorite ballet moves, especially pas de chats. Waltz combinations are my favorite!They should really teach us how to spell all the steps when we learn them...it would make it so much easier!
I love adage, extentions are my favorites!!! I also love borres(spelling?) and relves en pointe to the front across the floor.
