Ballet Combination for April

Tired of all the same old turns?  By the time I finish all my recital dances there are a million soutenus and détournés. 

Here is a fun combination with a fun turn:

En face in 5th with L front - arms crossed and close to chest, palms up.

1            sauté with battement R a la seconde,
               arms go up the side to 5th elonge (V arms palms out)
2            close leg front, arms pulling back in across chest and détourné L
3-4         repeat
5+a 6     tombé R pas de bourrée
7-8        glissade R, another glissade R into développé  L a la seconde 
1+a2      tombé L ( from that développé) pas de bourrée
3-4        glissade L , assemble over,
5-8        slow détourné (arms up the front to 5th, open down the sides to low and then across chest)
1-16      repeat on the other side
