Emily Blunt ballet question

I've seen this particular "move" often enough that I'm puzzled.

In this clip of her practicing her ballet, her one leg wiggles/wavers or whatever you want to call it.

What the hell is that all about? I do not know enough if every time I've seen it it was from the same ballet, or some signature move, but I figure since it's clearly intentional it must have some meaning or representation. Anyone know?

She does the same move in the performance. It's part of the choreography.

I know, but that leg shake appears often in dance, so I figure it has a name like other ballet moves such as Pirouette or Plié or Battement.
