Tours en L'air demo | LCB: Nanny McPhee 2014

  • 6 years ago
Here's a bitesize demo of a 'Tours en L''air' taken from The London Children's Ballet production of Nanny McPhee performed in 2014.

Definition: A jump, typically done by males, with a full rotation in the air. The landing can be on both feet, on one leg with the other extended in attitude or arabesque, or down on one knee as at the end of a variation. A single tour is a 360° rotation, a double is 720°. Vaslav Nijinsky was known to perform triple tours en l'air.
