后劈叉位（俄罗斯学派）
意为“后向 écarté”（écarté back）。舞者面向房间两个前角之一（2 号或 8 号方位），离观众较远的那条腿在第二位置 à terre 绷脚尖点地，或抬至第二位置 en l'air。以左腿延伸为例：舞者与观众成斜角站立，面向 8 号方位，左腿在第二位置 pointe tendue à terre，或抬至第二位置 en l'air、朝 6 号方位指向。手臂姿势为：左臂弯举过头、位于视线方向上，右臂保持在 demi-seconde 位置。身体向右倾，头转向右，目光顺着伸展的右臂向下看。
Écarté back. The dancer faces either one of the two front corners of the room (corners 2 or 8) with the leg that is farther from the audience pointed in the second position à terre or raised to the second position en l’air. When the position is taken with the L leg extended, the dancer stands at an oblique angle to the audience, facing corner 8 with the L in second position pointe tendue à terre or raised to the second position en l’air pointing toward corner 6. The arms are held with the L arm curved over the head in the line of vision and the R arm held in demi-seconde position. The body leans to the right with the head turned to the right and the eyes looking down at the extended R arm.
