[i]Hey Bill!<p>You wrote:<p>I'm perfecting (or trying to, at least) something that Ms. A calls "flic-flac." <p>>The moving leg begins at sur le cour-de-pied on the front of the supporting leg and whips out, very quickly, into second. The movement does brush the floor a little bit, but doesn't seem to be a true frappe. In any case, the leg returns just as quickly to sur le coup-de-pied, but behind the supporting leg. <p>>On Tuesdays and Thursdays, however, Ms. K calls the exact same thing the "royale." Ms. K was educated at North Carolina School of Dance and has been all over the map as a professional dancer. But she hasn't proclaimed herself to be a disciple of any single school. <p>A "flic-flac," (It's only name, as far as I know) is from the Russian school. However, clasically it starts with the foot a tendue a-la-second, pointed, 45 degrees off the floor. The foot comes down and the ball of the foot brushes the floor as it moves to sur-le-coupe-de-pied and then beyond that position, to a crossed position past the standing leg. Then the foot is thrust back to 45 degrees second, and returned to the crossed position, then back out to end in 45 degrees a-la-second. It is performed en dedans or en dehors (front to back; back to front).<p>But rather than the foot ending up in sur-le-coupe-de-pied, I was always taugh that the foot ended in second position, 45 degrees off the floor.<p>The basic movement of the foot out from the body to an extended position then back into the body position is a battement. <p>In the Russian school, a battement frappe usually starts sur-le-coupe-de-pied and extends outward and then back to to the strating position (front-front, front-back and vice versa), and the foot very rarely brushes the floor in these frappes.<p>In the Cecchetti school, the foot strikes the floor.<p>I'm not sure what Ms. K. is takling about in her description of the "royale." I was always taught, regardless of the school, that the royale is a changement with a beat. "Jump-beat-change!" Although flic-flac may be done with the standing foot on the floor or raising to demi-pointe while the foot points 45 degrees second, the royale involes leaving the floor.<p>I'm not knocking Ms. K! I have found many very experienced teachers whom I've had to ask for explanations of exercises because they were calling them something different than I learned in my study of the different schools, both on paper and by watching vidoes.<p>I usually like to try to translate the steps into basic English words, like jump-beat-change for the royale. That often helps, especially if the words fall into a cadence that can fit the music.<p>anonymous[/i]
