交叉击腿跳
意为"交织或编织"。是舞者跳入空中并快速将双腿前后交叉的击打步伐。按交叉次数从二数到十，每次交叉计为两个动作（每条腿各一个）。Entrechat 分为两大类：偶数 entrechat（双脚落地）——deux, quatre, six, huit, dix——和奇数 entrechat（单脚落地）——trois, cinq, sept, neuf。所有 entrechat 中双腿均等击打。偶数 entrechat 可做 en face 或 en tournant，奇数 entrechat 可做 devant, derrière, en tournant, de côté 或 de volée。在 Cecchetti 方法中，entrechat 双膝弯曲、双脚上收，使一只脚从小腿根部向下击打另一只脚。
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. Entrechats are counted from two to ten according to the number of crossings required and counting each crossing as two movements, one by each leg; that is, in an entrechat quatre each leg makes two distinct movements. Entrechats are divided into two general classes: the even-numbered entrechats, or those which land on two feet—deux, quatre, six, huit and dix— and the odd-numbered entrechats, or those which land on one foot—trois, cinq, sept and neuf. In all entrechats both legs beat equally. Even-numbered entrechats are done en face or en tournant, while odd-numbered entrechats are done devant, derrière, en tournant, de côté or de volée. In the Cecchetti method, entrechats are done with the knees bent and the feet drawn up so that one foot beats against the other from the base of the calf downward.
