大摆腿
grand battement，意为「大幅度的 battement（踢腿）」。一种练习：动力腿自髋部举起升入空中，再落回原位，重音落在向下运动上，双膝保持伸直。动作须显得轻松自如，身体其余部分保持安静。grand battement 的作用在于松活髋关节，并使双腿自髋部向外转开。grand battement 可向前（devant）、向后（derrière）及向二位（à la seconde）做。做 à la quatrième devant 的 grand battement 时：五位起式，右脚在前。以一气呵成的扫动，右脚擦出至前四位（croisé）pointe tendue，将脚抬至前四位 en l'air，再将脚落回前四位 pointe tendue，最后擦地收回五位前。à la seconde 与 à la quatrième derrière 的 battement 以同样方式完成。做 à la seconde 的 grand battement 时，动力腿交替收拢于五位前与五位后。
Large battement. An exercise in which the working leg is raised from the hip into the air and brought down again, the accent being on the downward movement, both knees straight. This must be done with apparent ease, the rest of the body remaining quiet. The function of grands battements is to loosen the hip joints and turn out the legs from the hips. Grands battements can be taken devant, derrière and à la seconde. To execute a grand battement à la quatrième devant start in the fifth position R foot front. In one sweeping movement, slide the R foot to the fourth position front (fourth position croisé), pointe tendue, raise the foot to the fourth position front en l’air, lower the foot to the fourth position pointe tendue and slide the foot back to the fifth position front. Battements à la seconde and à la quatrième derrière are done in the same manner. In the execution of grands battements à la seconde the working leg closes alternately in the fifth position front and back.
