A whipping movement. There are a great variety of Fouetté. We will deal with three of the most popular. Fouetté En Tournant {En DeHors}. This is the exciting turning step that was made famous in the Black Swan pas de deux from Swan Lake, where the ballerina does 16 of them. They are continuous turns on one leg with the other whipping around in rond de jambe. A very exciting turn for a girl and a must for her repertoire. Do your homework and you will be able to do this step. Most of the time it's just called Fouetté.
