Centre Tendu, Temps Lié & Body Directions - Ballet Technique

This is a classical ballet technique centre tendu exercise with temps lié and bourrée, utilizing a few different body positions.

Body Positions / Spatial Facings:
En Face: à la quatrième devant and derrière, à la seconde
Croisée: croisée devant and derrière, écarté

Which classical ballet body positions did we not use in this combination? (hint: there are 8 or 9 total, depending on the school)

One apology, I had a technical malfunction, so there is no music for the final repetition of the combination, a little bit bigger. You may play the track below, substitute music of your choice, or practice with the simple version (where the music is very clear), but I still wanted to provide a sample visual of a fuller performance of this centre tendu, even if it is performed in silence :)
