Answer 1

It's not a ballet move, it's a jazz move. None the less, it is referred to as a pitch or a tilt kick.

Answer 2

that's more of a jazz move. it looks like a "tilt", but in a tilt, the torso is perpendicular to the legs, and the arms are in a line, parallel.

Answer 3

thats not ballet. the closest thing it comes to in ballet is a le seconde, but in ballet she wouldnt be leaning over like that.

it has different names, but the one i learned is tilt, and it's a modern step.

Answer 4

Its a leg hold, but tilted. Could be called a leg hold with a slight tilt.

If her body was more upright, it would be a stretch some people do for ballet. Displacing the hips like that is not good ballet technique.

The closest ballet name would be the leg is second en laire, could be a grand battement (with VERY bad technique) and someone holding onto their leg.
