芭蕾舞的beat腿

跳芭蕾舞的即使只學了數年的都應該學過Entrechat. 即雙腳從第五位置(fifth position)躍起, 腳瓜"浪"(calves)互拍, 然後轉腳(即原來右腳在前變右腳在後).

詳細可看American Ballet Theatre的動作示範: Entrechat [ahn-truh-SHAH]: Interweaving or braiding. A step of beating in which the dancer jumps into the air and rapidly crosses the legs before and behind each other.

示範中還有Saute(躍起不轉腳), Changement(躍起轉腳但不拍打) [shahnzh-MAHN ](change of feet): Changements are springing steps in the fifth position, the dancer changing feet in the air and alighting in the fifth position with the opposite foot in the front; Entrechat Quatre(in an entrechat quatre each leg makes two distinct movements)及Entrechat Six.

昨晚的芭蕾舞課, 導師和我們便討論了一會什麼是Entrechat Quatre及Entrechat Six. Entrechat Six[ahn-truh-SHAH seess] (動作示範): Six crossings. Demi-plie (half-bend of the knees) in the fifth position R foot front. With a strong jump open the legs, beat the R leg behind the L, open

the legs, beat the R leg in front of the L, open the legs and finish in demi-plie in the fifth position R boot back. 噢, 我終於明白了, 即beat兩次兼轉埋腳! 都唔係太難啫... 仲以為要beat六次添! 流汗...

簡單的Entrechat Quatre我有信心說我做得頗完美! :) Entrechat Six, 一陣等我入廁所試試先...
