Terminology Tuesday Fini Piqué
A grand battement fini piqué is a term
of the French school, and it means a grand battement that lands, not in fifth,
but in a pointe tendu position. The leg then lifts into another battement
before finally closing in fifth.
This is a tricky manuever, since there
is a tendency for the foot to come crashing down (and there is no crashing in
ballet) causing the foot to squash (there is also no squashing in ballet). When
this occurs, there is no controlled landing in a lovely tendu position. Whew!
This step is also called grand battement
jeté pointé.
