Plural of fouetté; multiple instances or variations of the whipping rotational ballet movement.
French plural form of 'fouetté,' borrowed into English ballet vocabulary. The 's' ending creates the plural in French convention as adopted by English dancers and choreographers.
A single fouetté is impressive—but Odette in Swan Lake performs 32 of them consecutively without stopping, which requires the dancer's arms, legs, and core to work as a perfectly-timed machine!
