Entrechat trois
(ahn-tra-shah-twah)
Pronunciation
Entrechat Trois -- with Assemblé front. Still an easy step. Do this beating step exercise after the barre, when your legs are warmed up. Do it facing the barre and pushing up, while holding the body straight. The pattern might be eight counts and rest eight counts, four times. Please note: all entrachats open to the side and bounce back out, like clapping your hands together, with a sort of tension.
