A pose on one leg with the other leg lifted either backward
or forward and bent at the knee.
["attitude"]. A pose. As with the arabesque, the leg is raised. But unlike
the arabesque, it is bent, not straight, and, also unlike the arabesque, it can
be done to the front, the side, or the back. In attitude to the front or the
back, if the angle is 90 degrees, the calf should be as nearly horizontal as
possible.
