Well, every Ballet step involves technique. For example, you can't just battement or 'kick' your leg to the side and call it a 'good kick.' It might be really high, but there are so many other things you have to think about and make sure are correct like, 'was the working leg (the leg you battement) and the supporting leg (the leg you stand on) straight AND turned out?' ' am I standing up straight?' ' was my foot pointed?' and many, many other little details you have to have be sure you do when you perform that battement. It also takes so much time and practice and strength to develop that technique. A ballerina may make that Grande Battement look effortless, but there's a lot more to it then just flinging you leg in the air.
