A penche' means to be "performed or executed while leaning forward." And, I was taught that your leg goes up while you lean froward. And I FINALLY hit 180!

Ah, okay. Does it hurt? Looks kinda.. uncomfortable.

It hurts (a lot) if you don't stretch beforehand. But, as long as you are warmed up, like I was, it doesn't hurt much at all.

So, are you learning ballet? Or? I have a lot of respect for ballet dancers, it looks very difficult and uncomfortable. And the concentration and control they have is remarkable.

Impressive
I would like to try dancing, obviously I wouldn't take it as seriously as you, I think I'm too old now to start taking ballet/gymnastics seriously anyway, seems you have to start very young for that. But maybe like those Zumba classes old women go to Okay, maybe not. But something.
