What are all the movements in dressage?

Question

I know a couple like shoulder-ins and pirouettes, maybe figure eights and spirals too (not sure if they are actually dressage maneuvers) but what are all of them? It's killing me, some of them are on the tip of my tongue... please help and list as many movements as you can, thanks.

There is a few! Starting from the lower levels and working up (may not be exactly in order):
Leg yield
Shoulder fore
Shoulder in
Travers
Renvers
Simple changes (walk to canter, canter to walk)
Flying changes
Extensions 
Free walk
Half pass (in trot and canter, canter half pass is usually done as a zig zag with flying changes as you change direction)
Walk pirouettes
Canter pirouettes
Tempi changes (flying changes every 4th, 3rd, 2nd stride or at the highest levels every stride)
Piaffe
Passage 

This is a rundown. You can Google each one for more information. I could be here all night giving details haha!
