Entrechat cinq 1
(ahn-tra-shah-sank)
Pronunciation
Entrechat Cinq -- landing on one foot coupé and then an assemblé to make the combination continuous. 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.
