Struck, (like in battement frappe); a quick action of the leg.
["struck"], in full, battement frappé, "struck beat". Working foot rests
lightly on the ankle of the supporting foot. Throw the working leg forcefully
out to a dégagé position so that it strikes the floor 1/3 of the way out. Hold
the leg out as long as possible, returning it to its initial position at the
last moment. (Russian frappés start in tendu, darting to the supporting leg and
back out again.) Can be done to the front, side, or back.
