Ballet grand jete requires a great deal of flexibility. You can start by performing a developpe or a flick leap. Then, you’ll move into the grand battement. To perform a grand jete correctly, your back leg should be fully extended and lifted in the air. Otherwise, you’ll ruin the line of your jump.
A grand jete is a high, broad leap that combines the use of two different legs, with one leg stretched outward and the other leg straight back. It is sometimes referred to as a tour jete. The term jete is also used to describe a flung turn.
Ballet grand jete is a very difficult move and requires a lot of flexibility. Practicing this skill regularly will help you maintain your flexibility and prevent injury. However, you should be aware that the technique can become sloppy after a few weeks of not practising. It is advisable to begin your preparation by stretching before performing the grand jete.
There are several different ways to execute a grand jete. Some people refer to the classical version as a saut de chat. This term applies to a leap performed in ballet that uses the front leg as the base. The best way to perform the grand jete is to push your hips forward while the leg lifts up. This creates a lifted look in the hips. It is a very different look than just jumping in the same spot and using your legs alone.
