If you are standing on one leg (with the other leg off the ground), that leg is called your supporting leg because it is supporting you.

a pirouette is a very common turn in Ballet. A proper definition is an act of spinning on one foot, typically with the raised foot touching the knee of the supporting leg.
If you mean one leg then; Fondue. If you mean both legs then; Plie
A common pose in ballet in which one leg is raised to the side, with the knee bent so the toe is pointed next to the supporting knee (front, side, back). The retire is the position used for performing a pirouette. Practicing this pose will help to improve balance.
I think you mean pas de bouree - it is a ballet step, usually interpreted as ' little cramped running step'. The dancer stand, usually in 3rd or 5th. The front leg then swings out to the side, but stays low. Then it crosses behind the supporting leg. The (new) front leg then steps out to the side, both feet are on a rise at this point. Then the leg that initiated the action then closes back into 3rd or 5th, in front of the supporting leg. Hope that helps!
