2. General questions about ballet and modern dance
The entries in this section and the next are largely for beginners
and non-dancers. They may not all be "frequently asked" on the Net, but
they are certainly frequently asked, or wondered about, by beginners in
class or by people who go to ballet or modern dance performances.
Note: Ballet terminology is largely French (see question 2.11), and
since the 7-bit ASCII code does not include accented characters, we are
resorting to printing the accent just before its vowel; thus assembl'e,
encha^inement, terre-`a-terre. It looks strange, but omission of the
accents looks stranger and may sometimes lead to confusion. (If you put
the accent after the vowel, then a plural like assemble's looks like a
possessive.)
