Anyone know a lot about ballet terms?
So I'm in a ballet class, and this past week my teacher told us to write down the steps so we could practice at home. Anyway, I wrote them down, and towards the end I wasn't really paying attention to the spelling of the terms. So, one of the terms I wrote down was " tambe." I'm somewhat new to ballet so when I got home I couldn't remember what that was. I tried googling it, but I obviously spelt it way wrong, because I can't find out what it means. Please if anyone knows, help me out Thanks

Ballet term for developpe leap?
You know how a brush leap is called a Grande Jete? Well I was wondering what the ballet term for a developpe leap is...or is it just developpe? Just really curious Hmm....Well at other sources I have heard it as a saut de chat. I looked it up in my Gail Grant dictionary, but the definition is a bit complicated soh duh shah Cat's jump. A term of the French School. This is similar to the Italien pas de chat. The working foot, instead of being raised to the side of the knee, is raised in raccourci derriere. After the jump in the air, during which both knees and feet are drawn up, the landing is made in fondu on the foot which was raised first, with the other foot in raccourci devant. The raised foot is then closed in demi plie in the fifth position front. If the saut de chat is petit, the jump is small and the free foot is raised sur le cou de pied.I think this sounds like it, but I am not sure Okay, thanks so much

Will ballet damage my hips in the long term?
Because I love ballet and I am in my early twenties and people tell me quite often that I will suffer later on in life with my joints because of it.
