In
the third act of "Swan Lake", the Black Swan pulls off a seemingly
endless series of turns, bobbing up and down on one pointed foot and
spinning around and around and around ... thirty-two times. How is this
move — which is called a fouetté — even possible? Arleen Sugano unravels
the physics of this famous ballet move.
