Partially turned or rotated; positioned at a half-turn angle, often used in ballet or heraldry.
From 'demi-' (half) plus 'turned' (past participle of 'turn' from Latin 'tornare'). A descriptive term in dance and heraldic terminology.
In ballet, a demiturned position is actually easier than a fully turned position—it's the 'sweet spot' that conserves energy while still showing off technique, which is why dancers use it so much!
