I'm not sure of the reason for the term's use in ballet. I was going to research and write an article on the variations once; I may still do so.
Are you a ballet dancer, jennarenn?
I have to admit, I'm not much of a dancer (though I do enjoy on occasion rhythmically flinging my limbs about) and don't really appreciate it enough as an art form, but this word rocks.
It's also the name of a pretty screensaver bundled with Mac OS X Leopard.
Yes. This is how every bad ballet knick knack depicts ballerinas. They often get it just slightly wrong, which drives me CRAZY.
This is a conventional pose? And what does it have to do with Arabs?
