Developpe

This is a movement that works the leg and draws up from the knee while standing on the other supporting leg. It is a movement that is slowly extended from the hip to the knee through the ankle and into the foot and is held in the air as high as possible. Maintaining perfect control and keeping your hips level and supporting leg straight and posture straight as well.

Chasse

This is pronounced as (shaw- say). Which means to literally chase the other foot. You will start in right third position. You will slide your right foot out to a second position, then straighten your left leg and transfer you weight so that there is no weight on the right leg, then close in left fifth.
Here is a video to demonstrate.

Grand jete

A Grand Jete in english is simply a leap. How you start to approach a leap, is you start in left fifth position, and draw your right foot back as if you're pointing it backward, this is called the B+ position. This is where you begin a leap, next you're going to step right then left both being in plie. You will then spring off your left and split in the air with your right leg leading, just as shown in the picture. This is applied to any leap the foot work just might be different depending on the leap.

Grand battement

A grand battement is a controlled kick that comes from the hip. As the motion comes from hip the leg has to stay turned out otherwise it would be sickling, and cause for a uncomfortable position for the leg and hip. 

Pirouette

A Pirouette is a turn, it consists of a prep, balance, spotting, and control. You begin in first position and tendu out to second and then left fourth in plie, you have to center your weight so that it is evenly distributed on both feet. Your arms are in an L with your right arm out in front. The next thing your going to do is shoot straight up on your left leg and turn, but you don't want to twist up to get the momentum to turn, you need to just lift and tighten your core (stomach), as your arms come to a high first/ low fifth during the turn.

Arabesque

A ballet position in which the dancer bends forward while standing on one straight leg with the same arm as your leg that your standing on extended forward and the other arm and leg extended backward.

Glissade

This move is pronounced (glee- sod).

The main objective to a glissade to glide and travel. You start off with your feet in fifth position and your right foot in front. The right food lead, you start with working through the foot by pushing off lifting your heel then your arch then the ball of your foot and then lastly you lift your toes. You extend your leg outward and shift your weight so you are able to land on the right foor that you just lifted. Then once you are on that foot you repeat the same movement on your left foot to close in fifth position again.
