Terminology Tuesday Arrondi
Grand
battement arrondi [grahn bat-MAHN ah-rawn-DEE] means “large battement
rounded”. It is a term of the French school, and the step is sometimes called
battement en rond.
This is a battement that begins and ends
in fifth position and passes through all the directions en l’air (front, side
and back), but the highest point is reached in second.
This is a fun step and I have often seen
it during grand battement combinations, particularly at the barre, but seldom
have I heard anyone give it a specific name. Hmmm…
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Terminology Secret #79:
“Grand battement arrondi means ‘large battement
rounded’.”
