  • Yes. It is a fouette >.> The title says nothing about "fouette-turn. "What she did was a "fouette saute" and "fouette releve" Perfectly legitimate. Relax and go learn some more ballet terms!

  • @Phillissy OMG i know, right!

  • I just... can't stand... the butchering of the french ballet terms -_-

  • She is TOO skinny

  • @meluvsk8 i love her legs...

  • aahh jelous of your body

  • @brooklynboyee When a foreign word comes over to a different country and becomes part of their own vocabulary, it is unnecessary to maintain original pronunciation.

  • u cant LEARN ballet froma video u cant do anything from a video on ballet if u wanna learn ballet and i mean REAL ballet go to a prop ballet school and learn there! u cant do anything until u try it

  • @roxyluvagirl She has a microphone pack attached to her back. It makes things difficult.

  • @cutiepaige101 No, it's not! That's why she said it was a fouette saute, not a fouette en tournant! Amazing what you learn if you actually listen to the video.

  • @KitseeFoo No, it's not. It's a fouette. The same term is used for different types of "whipping" movements.
