TERMINOLOGY OF JAZZ DANCE


" coffee grinder "
danseur: Sebastiano LO CASTO



français: Pirouette fouetté .( Le fouetté est sauté, jambe à la 2nde ).
(pour les Amèricains le coffee grinder se fait au sol, ce que nous on appelle la "roulotte russe.) Autre appellations: roulette russe ou Dr.Pepper
english: Pirouette fouetté . Turning jump with one leg bent and the other in 2nd position.
e-mail remark from Jeannie (N.Y.):
"Coffee Grinder" that it's done on the floor in a squatted position. One leg bent and positioned under you that's your supporting leg. The free or working leg is out straight and swings around in front of you and the then the supporting leg hops over the working leg as it swings around in a circle. Hence the name "coffee grinder".
Some call it also russial roulette or Dr.Pepper
.... who is right ?
italiano: Pirouette fouetté .( il fouetté è saltato). 
español: Coffee grinder / pirouette fouetté. salto girando con una pierna doblada y la otra en segunda posicion
