Twitter Ballet Combinations

I recently saw someone twittering recipes and it got me to thinking about how I could tweet ballet combinations. Of course, they'd have to be short and sweet to fit 140 characters and I'd have to come up with some good abbreviations everyone would understand. To begin, I won't add any arms (port de bras) with barre combinations. I added a link to the full explanation of the first combination I posted so people could see it in more detail.

This was my first tweeted ballet combination:

Degage ballet: 2/4 5p 5 deg s cl 1p elv lwr hd Piq f 2x rj piq s 2x rj piq b 2x cl 5p hd. Rep fm b. http://cli.gs/2522Yg

I'll make a more substantial list later, but here are a few of the abbreviations:

2/4 = the recommended time signature; also 4/4, 3/4, 6/8

1p = 1st position

2p = 2nd position

4p = 4th position

5p = 5th position

cl = close

hd = hold a count

elv = eleve

piq = pique

rj = rond de jambe

2x = two times

3x = three times

. = end of phrase

Rep = Repeat (Capital letter is beginning of new phrase)

fm = from

b = back

s = side

f = front

EC = en croix

deg = degage

pl = plie

tnd = tendu
