Rond de jambe on the ground, outward. First position; slide the R foot forward, gradually raising the heel, to the fourth position (ouvert) front, pointe tendue. With an outward sweep carry the foot along the ground through the second position, pointe tendue, to the fourth position (ouvert) back, pointe tendue. The foot is then brought forward to the first position, gradually lowering the heel. The complete half-circle traced by the outward sweep of the foot on the ground is termed rond de jambe à terre en dehors. In a series of ronds de jambe à terre the strong accent occurs as the foot passes through the first position.
