大单腿转
意为“大的 pirouette”（large pirouette）。这是在一只脚上完成的一连串旋转，动力腿保持于第二位置 en l'air、attitude 或 arabesque，或以若干舞姿组合进行。身体 en dehors 旋转，每转一圈支撑脚做一次 relevé。这一连串旋转也可包含小跳转——舞者以前脚掌为轴转动，同时以细碎、利落的动作快速移动脚跟。grande pirouette 以多圈 sur le cou-de-pied 结束。通常配以 16 或 32 小节的 galop 音乐完成。见 Pirouette à la seconde, grande；Pirouette sautillée, grande。
Large pirouette. This is a series of turns on one foot with the raised leg held in the second position en l’air, in attitude or arabesque, or in a combination of poses. The body turns en dehors and a relevé is made on the supporting foot with each turn. The series may also include small hopping turns in which the dancer pivots on the ball of the foot while quickly shifting the heel with tiny, sharp movements. The grande pirouette is concluded with multiple turns sur le cou-de-pied. It is usually performed to 16 or 32 measures of a galop. See Pirouette à la seconde, grande; Pirouette sautillée, grande.
