   It’s actually ‘tour jete.’ ‘Tour’ for ‘turn.’

   Grande battement, pirouette, tour jete. Plus, you know, the accent marks.

   And here’s a bit more comprehensive ballet dictionary derived from the two most widely used print dictionaries: http://www.marcea.com/DanceDefined/DanceDefined_BalletTerms.htm .
