What is a "fouetté"?

A fouetté is a dynamic and challenging turn in ballet where the dancer rapidly spins on one leg while the other leg extends and whips around. The term "fouetté" means "whipped" in French, reflecting the whipping motion of the extended leg. To perform a fouetté, the dancer typically starts in a plié or a similar position, then uses the momentum of the whipping leg to propel themselves into a series of fast, controlled turns. Fouetté turns require strong technique, balance, and precise timing, and they are often used to add dramatic flair and complexity to ballet performances.
