And the name of this step is. . .?

The step is essentially a sissone ouvert, but the working leg does a rond l'air while you jump. My teacher couldn't remember and Gretchen Ward Warren's book is buried in a box while the painters are here.

 

Thanks.

Guess what? It's a rond de jambe en l'air sauté.

Pleiades, a rond de jambe en l'air sauté can be executed either from a sissonne action or from a brush, like a ballonné, action.

That's exactly what my teacher said, Ms. Leigh. We did them with the brush.
