ballet technique--Grand jete

[littlesheep11]

Wow.... I feel like a fatty...their body is PERFECT. Great dancers amazing technique!!!!!

[Shanelle1397]

@luv2dance0422 When your doing a grande jeté, think about really pushing off the ground with your back foot, and also think about getting more hight as opposed to travel.. That should help you :)

[PrimaOnPointe]

Amazing! And I understood what the instructor was saying! :D Thank you for speaking in Mandarin! :)

[TotallyTakayla]

You know they're a good dancer, when they make everything look easy XD

[luv2dance0422]

hi guys im having difficulty getting my grand jetés and i really need some help! I can never seem to get to that moment when you look like your doing the splits in mid air my front leg is always on the ground by the time the second comes up please help!

[TheThegi]

[rock1chica]

[cccfieldhockey]

[IndigoCat17]

How old is the first girl?

[ha347282]

Does anyone know what brand of leotard they wear??????

[pauldavisfan]

Very graceful and beautiful!

[pointegirl543]

the first two jumps are sout de chats, not grand jetes, because their front legs bend. still amazing work

[SHANNYnRHYLEE]

wow.

[malsami]

Darn! I still cant nail it!!!

[brocolims]

THATS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tennyopallas]

I understand them! yay for first semester Chinese!

[rachel1161979]

@tennyopallas O.O All they're saying is numbers...

[pamela333666]

amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn­nnnng

[xxildancingqueenxx]

Thay are very amazing! 

[xxildancingqueenxx]

I wish I lived in china because you get ballet school that train you like crazy its amazing. But in saying that some over train you or train you too early whiich can create difficulties for a longer coreeer

[thefourandonly1]

@xxildancingqueenxx

Also, they are crrraaazzyyyyy mean and strict. My friend (who is chinese) says they're even meaner than they are in russia sometimes O.O

[w00tzor25]

In China, they were Red Leotards instead of Black.

I wonder why... :P

[ShirlyGirly44]

@w00tzor25 Red is a colour of luck and good fortune in their culture.

[97demiandselenafan]

I'ts really difficult to dance like this , believe me I know ...

[Ballet4Everz]

meh..

[kaarebeaarrr]

...soooo...skinnyyyyy...

[ollobrains1]

[randomsupastarr1986]

[DearMyRachel]

[peacedancer1]

[Kikiomme]

[jacka9c]

They're so amazing and beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thetempleoffire]

[JayJayBayBay123]

they were really good but wasn't zhong-jing fang doing soteshas?

[gwennitoes]

How old was Zhong-jing Fang in this video?

[saddepressedgal]

WTH! dun look down on them,yea so what these steps are easy,but how about you doing that??i bet that u dun have that strength to do it beatifully!good dancers dont look down on people.They are soo good,though they are chineses frm china!not only they have long legss,they have got the softtie legss!wonderful!~

[SanneMusic]

They look soo breakable xD

I yesterday managed to do a full grand jeté! My first! But only with my left leg front.. right will come. I feel so happy =)

And the second time,, with their back leg bend (i forgot the name of the step) it looks.. weird haha.

These girls are amazing! :D

[saddepressedgal]

yea totally,ur rite,when i first do grand jete,i was soo happy too!

[affectivity]

@SanneMusic Congratulations! Keep dancing :)

[Godluckable]

@SanneMusic I am working on mine right now, but have a long way to come. I still need to strengthen and work on flexibility. I am really looking forward to doing mine (as well as a higher arabesque) too!

[Krizeliphone]

my teachers don't count out loud

[limejello11]

omg how old are these gurls and how are they soo amazing...i've been working soo hard to work on my technique and it seems like i will never, get this far as they have!!!!

[greyrainbowz]

-__- dang. they're amazing.

[SteelioC]

INSANE turnout, synchronicity and height!!!!!

And that has GOT to be the highest cut legline I've ever seen on a leotard...

[centuryoldgrenade]

@SteelioC  I'm Chinese and I feel insulted, though I can admit that it's the highest cut legline.

[SteelioC]

@centuryoldgrenade I was remarking on their turnout/synchronicity/height to be a positive thing--they are AMAZING.

[BalletTapJazz]

@SteelioC Actually lots of studios require that cut or higher, to view the hips.

[Karen1andKaren2]

@SteelioC i think its one of those "french cut" leotards that were popular 1980-ish

[TheImove]

They both seem to have the longst legs on earth :)

[brwnhoney]

i hope i can do that one day, i know its not easy though lol

[CrazyBoutBallet]

They are so neat and tidy and have the longest legs ever!!! Great for a ballet dancer!!!

[TiffanyCao]

i love the combination. i just learned the grande jete today and i guess my front leg is higher but definately not the back.(:

pretty much opposite C:

[GetUrDanceOn]

wooooooooooooooow...respekt

[4lifeKid]

wow they are incredible! I feel very jealous

[Guzzybear8]

Just cuz theyre from china doesnt mean they practice moree! I have dance 7 days a week 5 hourss a day! and i'm proud to say my leaps look like that!

[sujataliew]

This is from China, they must have been practicing everyday.

[dancedancingdancer]

i LOVE grand jete, its one of my favorite steps :)

but i would look awful next to them, haha

[xwesnaa]

more i watch videos on youtube...watching classes of same year olds...i see how much my Country is behind with Ballet...im 14, boy...we have some kind of summer school...there is a guy from Italy teaching us...and we dont know 1/2 of things he tells us...and he says that same year olds are already doing it...he already learned me alot of things :D with him i finally do 3 pirouetts...and jeté entrelancé..and sad e basque...he is cool :D

[xmangoxsunniex]

geez, fuk she has such long legs and iz so skinny!-i wish is was her...

[peonytheharpist]

I want to practice how to grand jete with

attitude back leg... can anyone help me?

Regards

Peony

[pokemonrigigigas]

oh god the bodies. x.x beautiful.

[Dance5Passion]

how long did u take to do a very good grand jete?

[DesignationKik]

Ugh, just shoot me and my 16 year old sucky technique. The five year old bionic ballerinas with flawless moves win, I give up, lol.

[Hannackk]

i think pas de chat is step of the cat. ??

[TheNat93]

they are so skinny they dont have the strength to get off the floor!!!! is that what you call jumping?!

[bdancer97]

theyre legs areee sooo longgg!!!!! they are so skinny omg. i hope someday tho i can do it as good as them. ive only been doing ballet for like 2 yearss. love itt thoo!

[treysvids]

her legs go on for miles!

[writer13426]

I have shorter legs, and not as great a ballet body as them, but I got a high-leg-cut leotard. It totally helps! It makes you feel taller and leaner. buy one!

[salaciccio]

very good!!

[jacka9c]

THATS SOO BEAUTIFULL!!

DOES SOMEONE KNOW WHATS THE NAME OF THAT???

in my class thy call it gran pas de chat.. here grand jete..... WICH ONE IS IT?

thanks :)

[angelshanna77889]

haha, it depends (:

i mean, in different schools, there are different names for the same move (:

[herculiez25r]

Well for sure this is not a Pas De Chat.. It's a Grand Jeté en avant, , no matter how you look at it. if the front leg is thrown staight, or if at first it bends then straightens, it is called a Grand Jete Développé, but none the less a Grand Jete it remains. a Pas de chat, or a saut de chat, is a completly different jump.

[rockongirl101]

Pas de Chat means step of the hourse and is where you lift one leg then the other into passe so you're thinking of a completely different move

[watwereusmoking]

UMMMMMMMM, obviously you either suck at french or ballet because chat means cat, so pa de chat means step of the cat. look it up

[rockongirl101]

i'm sorry i just made a mistake. pas de chavel means step of the horse. calm down. anyway, pas de chat is still different.

don't have to be a jerk about it.

[pugs1not2drugs]

that's not a grand jete. it's a saut de chat

[pointerox123]

I know! But they are so good and they look so beautiful.

[s24na]

When I watching I think that's easy but it isn't *o* she dances gracefully!

[PrincessSakuno]

omg shuddup u annoying teacher!!!!

[tacostastesbad]

I know! many chinese ballet teachers think that yelling at the dancers will make them do better

[binkobinks]

Ummm I speak Chinese and the teacher isn't yelling at them. She is just counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, etc for the dancers.

[xxtwilightgurlxx]

lol THANK you

[moonlitedancer8]

She's not yelling at them.

A lot of Chinese teachers count out loud for their pupils--I know mine did. :/

[occocooccoco]

a lot of any type of dance teachers count aloud for dancers

[gymgirly1]

ther really pretty ther legs are perfect an ther so skinny i wish i could be like them lol :)

[MilidinBallerina]

:O  perfect grand jete

[strangesugarfairy]

that teacher's voice is REALLY annoying.

[c0nstanza1987]

too annoying i must say

[BellWard0neO0ne]

they have such long legs......very good

[Danzersss91]

there lovely but they look a little heavy...

(not as in they look fat)

[BalletDancer2013]

This girl looks no older than me and shes way better! woah haha creepy

[54spiritedwill54]

nice beautiful...

[KirannaKual]

so skinny it's kinda creepy, but good dance.

[jacka9c]

Yeah their skinny but VERY delicate and pretty :D

I wish i could dance like that

[lissy136]

are those grand jets ballet or jazz,,, cos i thought that ballet 'leaps' didnt start with a devolpe!

xx

[bananasplit1998]

they can, it doesnt matter

[theoniff8]

Grand Jete you just kick out and saut de chat you developpe out

[writer13426]

How old are they? OMG! so good, and on top of that, theyre flexible and skinny!!!

[govgirl10]

i wanna dance and look like that!!!

[aputhemonkey6]

there legs are amzing they are sooo long perfect for ballet!!!

[woahwoah2006]

to be asian.....

[ggggtgtg]

they're so good i want to cry

[LiisuuG]

those girls are SO SKINNY . like how they have strength to do ballet . :O

[claudineB24]

Which school is it ? In which country ? I love it so much

[ballerinexox]

that reminds me of my old ballet teacher..

[carolinesalv]

Truth be told i generally dislike ballet teachers they are usually foul temperd and impatient as if what your doing isn't hard enough!!

[PointeChick08]

My dance teacher is really nice but if we do something wrong she makes us do it over agian and agian till we get it right.

[babydancerKirina]

ommioddio che brave!

[jarrahxoxo]

wow the first girl is so light on her feet!

[Schruteisbeast]

wow! so in sync!!

[exalesalaltemaso]

youu mira a romisita nenita ohh siii :D

[balletgirlnz]

Absolutely beautiful. Lovely enchainment too

[geckoarmy8]

Beautiful! They do have really long, slender legs; it makes their jumps just gorgeous!

[balletstarroxs0720]

i can shes saying 12345678910 im doing chinese maderin in school

[sanguinethief]

You're right but it's only up to 8 I believe

I don't know why she seems to be sort of "barking" on "1" and "5" though :P Makes her sound really fierce!

[kissobsessed]

I know her voice is kind of scary!!

[dnceqt]

i wish i could understand the teacher. haha

[Camiwhatever]

mine neither, but I get the feeling that they've done this for a veeeery long time.. it takes practise, but it's still hard.

[littlemeinthepink]

whoa! my legs can never really get THAT straight!!

[Balletdancer5]

I can only imagine how good they must be in pointe!! O_O

[luvpeacelaugh20]

I have long legs too!!! yay from grande jetes, i love to do them!

[XxPotterGurlxX]

Wow they have extremly long legs.

I have to be the shortest ballerina with the shortest legs in the world...wow haha lol

these girls are extremly good :-) WOW

[writer13426]

what kind of leaps are those? the back leg is in an attitude! is there a name for it?

[ShAzZrUlZ]

woah they're good!

[milasoprani]

Ive been practising different techniques, and those ones are quite difficult depending on sequence... Very Good they are

[asilandi]

o.O sono anoressiche

[jesscharalambous93]

they just look forced

[rubiaa06]

that teacher is very annoying! shut up! the jetes are faboulus!

[xoangie03]

because you can ALWAYS improve and get better.

no one would get anywhere if they did not strive to improve. and if a teacher needs to yell, then they do. eventually the student will have their own voice yelling at themselves.

[strawgracias]

she's actually just counting it off in Chinese

^-^

[ShAzZrUlZ]

yea lol she is atually sayin 1, 2, 3, 4etc in mandarin. but i do understand why you would find it annoying

[minisaz101]

It's weird, my ballet teacher would reallyy shout if we "flicked" our grande jetes, we are always told to grand battement them. Maybe another funny little difference between the styles? (I do RAD by the way!).

[bananezek]

when you do one using a bent leg, from devlope (i'm guessing that's what you meant by "flicked?) it's called a "grand pa des jatte" (really not sure how to spell it), and both are fine, only different

[ciofarules66]

I think you spell it gran pas de chat(step of a cat)...can tou tell me how old they are there?pleeeeeeeeeas tell me D:

[nerdzilla221]

if you "flick"(develope) your grand jete you do an entirely different jump called a sotasha (i cant spell it). yea, grand jetes are supposed to be brushed

[ipawdluv]

Spelled something similar to a saut de chat, anyways I am RAD, and we have learned it, what grade are you? You may be to young to have learned it yet. But yes, Grande Jetes are brushed, not developed. ^_^

[winniepooh4ever]

ive been practising jetes for ages but no where near as good as them

[BillyElliotLover96]

yi

er

san

si

wu

liu

qi

ba

loooooooooool it gets a bit annoying after a while...but theyre AWESOME!!

x

[mizzmaya1]

when i do my jetes they always seem to not work rite. these girls are awesome-ness!

[cuteako101]

my jetes are crap!this is awesome!

[sagris95]

wowowowoow they dance well!! REALLYYY!! BUT.....

[qwepan]

nice beautiful...

[Mijnaxx]

tehy do all have lobg leggs amazing!

i think they only accept people with 'the perfect body' with a great turn-out and things like that

but, they are good...

[lilmissoddoneout]

Heartbreakingly nimble. I wish I was that light on my feet!

[Nikipikipoo]

Why is everyone giving them crap about emoition???? They are mazing dancers and ballet emoitions are ofen more suttle than conemperary to say.

[takalalouis]

yes!

[PerfectEnPointe]

Wow... My Jetes dont look like that... But theirs were amazing!!

[Imika1]

how ooooolllddd aaaarrreee ttthhheeeyyyy???????

[Siany1988]

wow they are just so together

[abfly4me]

wow...really, really good technically...i mean, do they ever eat? but yeah, they really lack emotion. they're like ballet machines. i'd rather see a dancer who can only do one foutte but has a lot of emotion.

[lelozza94]

sono talmente brutte e magre che sono spiacevoli da vedere.... blea!!!

[BeRe1709]

I believe truly that in the ballet great part of this art is due to the figure but I also think that if also as the figure to it is also due to the interior love that all the dancers should feel to this art therefore these girls they rot to possess the most technique but when I was just seeing them I simply feel inside me that it lacks something as..." EMOTION"...

[mayday822]

It's a technique class, not Swan Lake.

[mayday822]

Sorry, that comment was in response to one of the people complaining about the students' so-called "lack of emotion."

[Imika1]

this was crap.... they CANT GET OFF THE FLOOR. the technique yes is AMAZING ofcorse but there is so much more to it... not to mention the lack of presentation

[stardustpirate]

Wow. Way to hate.

[x0xiluvdancinx0x]

wow they are so grceful!i love ballet

[LittleMissDancer2013]

even though this is my 8th year of dancing,i'm not that good yet!

[dancingwithoutwords]

It's a shame that the teacher doesn't allow them dancing without "counting" the dance..

ballet is not only gymnastics, they should learn to dance the music too and develope as artists. THey are good enough and grown enough to follow the music by themselves...

[LilyandLara]

She looks waaaayyyy 2 skinny :(

[kathywake]

I have taken ballet and dance for some years and think that this is the most awesome represenation of what ballet should look like: beautiful, flawless, and effortless.

[ballerina00chixe]

their technique is almost perfect !wooow

[thegirlwholiketoread]

i am not trying to be sacrastic but i think their dancing are horribble. Not that horrible but the girls look like....... :-( Malnutruition pp. But they have the "usual" ballet figue and they are all tall and willowy in here. And they have the special pp who have ballarina hips.

[lindsikinz3795]

obviously ppl like classical ballet.

it wouldhave been better if they were en pointe like meh =D

[bananasplit1998]

bragger! how old r u?

[HelenaNever]

wow!!

[rOxiiaintnosheep]

they r really good

:)

[HGWL]

gorgeous!!!!

[84almond]

thats cool! lol... i wish i had taken ballet when I was younger! D:< the person talking in the background sounds funny. :D

[creempoof]

yeaa agreed, they look soo cool!

the person in the background is speak mandarin XD haha she's counting the beats
