Hello:

What would be the name of the steps by Nureyev in:

Nureyev - Don Quixote - Entrance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvHOtZ_qdLM

at:

0:47-0:48 jumping step to his left
BTW, what dance is that, is there a name for it?

0:58 he jumps ahead with feet underneath him

1:36 he goes in a large circle, are those jetes en tour?

1:38 and 1:41 jumps during the same motion

1:48 he knees in front of Lucette; how's that stance called?

Thanks.
Alexandra
Jerry, again, we're a forum to discuss ballet performances, but not a school smile.gif If you want to learn about the steps, you might want to start taking classes. But we can't go through the repertory variation by variation and give you the step names.
