JaneD Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I've been off-line for a couple of weeks. Dégagé - just split up with her boyfriend Tendu - time to pay back the pre-Christmas loan Echappé - wearing a hat I had a definition for glissé, but I'll skate over that one. Jane Link to comment

Mme. Hermine Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 saut de basque = fried tutu? Link to comment
JaneD Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Fried tutu? Ever since I attended a lecture on making tutus I've had a cartoon in my head about "Never feed a tutu after midnight", in the style of the film "Gremlins". Elancé - minor surgical procedure completed Pas de basque - Catalan speakers only Cecchetti - the bill at an Italian restaurant Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 2, 2003 Author Share Posted January 2, 2003 Oh, those are good, and I can even envision cartoons! Attitude ouverte = No-nonsense, and up-front about it. Link to comment
Giannina Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 This comes from a non-balletic friend of mine who lives on beachfront property. I was talking ballet and mentioned "attitude derriere" and she said that's what she sees on the beach from her window! Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 That one's good for a cartoon, too, Gia! No text necessary! Bournonville = Is that on the Hudson or Harlem railroad? Link to comment
JaneD Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I have to disagree on that one. Bournonville is definitely a rich, dark chocolate. Marguerite Porter - an employee of the original Covent Garden flower market. Jane Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 No, no, Marguerite Porter is emphatically a rich, brown, top-brewed malt beverage served with a slice of lime! Gee, I hope they have the equivalent of the Stage Delicatessen in London, with specials named after the Famous! Link to comment
