Fouettés - Prima Ballerinas in Mariinsky (kirov) - Lopatkina, Makhalina, Vishneva, Tereshkina, etc…

”A fouetté turn (or fouetté en tournant) begins with the performer standing on one flat foot in plié (with knee bent). The working leg is extended and whipped around (fouetté is French for “whipped“) to the side and then, once extended to maximum turnout, bent and pulled in to a passe or retiré position. The foot beats behind the knee and then to the front of the knee of the supporting leg before extending back out to the front. At the same time, the supporting foot transitions to relevé (heel raised), in ballet often rising to en pointe (on toe tips). These movements create the angular momentum needed for one turn, which is executed by rotating in place on the supporting foot.“ This video includes Skorik, Somova, Tereshkina, Kondaurova, Pavlenko, Zakharova, Vishneva, Nioradze, Lopatkina, Makhalina, Asylmuratova, Mezentseva, Terekhova, and Komleva.
