Update! My novel will be published!!! I found a (small) german publisher and hopefully the book will hit the shelves in time for the Leipzig Book Fair 2019. I wanted to take the time and thank you all again for your kindness and your help. I will mention this forum in the acknowledgments. Right now I couldn't be happier.

You're all too kind!!! Thank you all so very much. I guess it will be from one dancer to another. I'm currently plotting the novel, but haven't made every decision yet. The novel will be in German, but I will keep you informed nevertheless. (I also asked a few question in a german forum and they nearly laughed me out of the room... that's why I 'm so grateful for your help!) Dare I ask another question? For example... in a gym... how much wheight can a male ballet dancer lift on average? 100 kg? More? Less?

Thank you so very much!!!! That was exactly what I meant and wanted. Thank you for your help!!!!

I'm toying with the idea of writing a novel and one of the secondary characters could be a ballet dancer. This performance might be discussed in the novel and I want to have a better understanding of this piece. Was "names" the wrong term? I mean "jete" and "pirouette" and such... as I said before - english is not my native language and I'm also unsure about the correct wording concering ballet.

Hello! Please excuse my english - it is not my native language. I don't know anything about ballet, but the other day I stumbled across some videos on youtube and somehow I got hooked. Especially this performance by Baryshnikov of the prince's variation in Sleeping Beauty. (I hope it is okay to post the video here...) Now I want to know what the steps are called and in which order he makes them... I googled a list of ballet steps and I think I recognize some, but I want to be sure. Could someone perhaps please help me? I'm rather curious about this performance. I also hope this was the right place/forum to post this question.
