PIQUE

 In dance, "piqué" (pronounced pee-KAY) means "to prick," and describes a step where a dancer steps directly onto the pointe or ball of the foot. The term is most famously used for the piqué turn, a traveling turning step that involves stepping onto one leg en pointe while the other leg is in the air, usually in a passé position (drawn up to the knee).
