Terminology Tuesday Tour Fall
In the category of things you can’t make
up comes tour en l’air avec chute allongée.
This is described in Gail Grant’s book as “Turn in the air with an outstretched fall.”
The description goes further: “This is a double tour en l’air in which the
dancer, before the end of the movement, inclines his body in the direction of
the turn and falls sideways to the floor in a horizontal position.”
I couldn’t find a video demonstrating
this step and all I can say is Wow.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #30e:
“Tour en l’air avec chute allongée is a tour that
falls.”
