grand jetes Explanation: Sarah, I'm not a ballerina, so I'm just guessing, but this looks quite plausible. I'm thinking that whatever it is, it contains the word "grand" (for bol'shiye), so that may help you a bit. By the way, I believe the second "e" in jete has an accent over it. A Google search for ballet terms glossary OR dictionary netted quite a few sources that may help you. Here are a couple: www.abt.org/education/dictionary/index.html (American Ballet Theater dictionary) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_ballet_terms (Wikipedia glossary) Also, here's are two examples where your term and grand jete seem to be equated: http://www.rambler.ru/srch?oe=1251&words=grand jete&hilite=6... http://www.rambler.ru/srch?oe=1251&words=grand jete ������&hilit... Hope that helps a bit. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-11-24 14:36:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I was forgetting my 25-year-old French grammar, if it's plural there should be an S on both adjective and noun: grands jetes. |
