[ohgeesj]

I have to do this in my dance class but I'm pretty close to my head with my foot but i need to learn 2 do a middle split and a left split

[MsLiveDance10]

@ohgeesj u cn loook at my pg if needeeddd

[fmitawol]

Hmm i got this down

[ellajaymass]

this is a beginner dance move?!!?

[MsLiveDance10]

I am used to traveling in leaps, but i just dont know how to take ur leap and whip it back. ergh

[kay29xx]

everytime i did this i kept hitting my mom in the head wen she tried to help me.

[MissAlexandra101]

I just learned how to do this today at dance!! Doesn't look that good but im getting it :D

[neversaynever1626]

At my stuido your leg is supposed to beva little more straight than that but not totally straight..

[TheSynchronizedVideo]

@neversaynever1626 Usually called an extended fire bird. It's really common, looks more superior than the attitude at the back..

[vivalavicc]

what good exerices can i do so my back leg goes up more or any other ways to get flexable to do that...any advice!?!? thanks

[kkatsparkles]

huh, we call it a ring leap...

she's amaazzzingggg <3

[jennroxandstuff]

lol im not really a beginner cuz i have been dancing since i was 4...but i cant do these!

[islaval]

this is jeanine mason's signature jump =)

[esthertan8]

@islaval it is!!! it was coz of her i'm here!!!

[keyana095]

It's called a Firebird...? WTH?! My dance studio calls it an assemble kick your head -_-. That's basically the same thing but I've been looking for 2 days for a video on how to do it (because I have to do one in my upcoming lyrical performance), but since I didn't know the proper name I've been going in circles.. Anyway Thank You So Much!!! I finally understand how to do it properly :D

[laurenboren94]

anyone who says she did the wrong in any way is wrong she did that beautifully

[iluvjfkdancer]

i am really bad at the firebird leap especialy since i hurt my toe

[MissTia777]

I never knew it required being in 5th position and doing plies.

[onemissedcall007]

this dancer has GORGEOUS leaps.

[chookieJS]

Okay i do almost all the leaps except for this one and center leaps. :P im so freaking retarded

[whoaxcyndy]

i thought it was called a sissone?

[kalinzxgor3]

How does she get her leg so high in the air in a standing position?!?!?!?! O_O

[Cyrus150]

@kalinzxgor3 because she's tilting her pelvis.

[jenn137]

what are some good warm ups/ stretches to do before attempting this leap?

[JBdancer22xo]

We call those ring leaps. i am really good at them. but when she did it running in the video, she didnt atttidude her leg as much

[itstheshellsters]

She's very good

[lakristen7]

I dont know much about this jump but when you do it from the running, arent you not supposed to travel?? she did travel a bit. Im not extactly sure. Or can it also be done traveling through the air??

[dadadancer93]

@lakristen7 it simply depends on the choreography, traveling or not both work

[memorieskeephimalive]

my studio calls them single latitude jumps

[kristaaxoxwtp]

yeah i wouldn't call this step for beginners, i have been dancing for five years (i'm 14) and i haven't learned this yet, though i try to practice it at home.

[purplesheepify]

we called it a rain jump when we were 6, at our studio. We also use the french system so we have never had names like "firebird leaps". it sounds cooler than our names tho...and our studio is very competitive too. We win 1st or second usually in our whole province(not to brag) at competitions ( i am in competitive, but we also hav rec)

[DanceLover3190]

i've always called the standing jump a rain jump

a stag is where your front leg is in a front attitude and your back leg is in a back attitude

the trick to landing silently is to land on your toes and not your whole foot...just make sure to plie' so you dont hurt yourself

[Andlerder]

Really? My studio taught these in a beginning leaps and turns class when I was around 7.  I think it's because our studio is very competitive.

[FourLeafClover270]

My studio is also very competetive. Even the non competition classes ment for little kids are quite competetive. We just never learned these. We learned many more though... strange...

[LetzteEclipse483]

I dont have formal training and i can this

kinda....

but i hurt my back....hmmm..

But i bet if you tried it you could do it!

=]]]]

[thatdancerale]

omg! shes so silent when she lands! im jealous!

[Kathi10123]

jeanine makes these look so easy...wowzers

[dancer325]

i was taught in gymnastics that it was called a ring jump.

[balletgirl024]

i was taught that these were don quixotes

[LetzteEclipse483]

I can do it standing but i cant run into it

[ponyroxit12]

also seen it called a straight-leg stag

[lovecomesonce]

Jeanine from so you think you can dance does those excellently! I think it's her signature move

[RicaBeeGrown]

I noticed that too, almost all of her solos featured them.

[AAAbaby2594]

This is what I knew it by. I wanted to learn how to do it, but it is about ten million times harder than it looks. Jeanine makes it look TOO easy. (:

[rocklinthunderss]

it is her signature move. it says it on the so you think you can dance web site

[demolitionxxvampire]

@lovecomesonce i'm mesmerized when I watch Jeanine do them. Absolutely amazing!

[TheDanzTeacher]

I was taught to call these a " Kitri " (from Don Quixote)

[helliop]

me too

[dancer4932]

yep stag jumps are both legs bent, on the spot.we call that jump a flick back ha ha,

[xl0veey0uux]

you can't even hear her when she lands!!(:

[llyynnaasshh]

we call it an amazon

[isabelily4595]

We call those scorpions

[AnnieLives]

do you do gymnastics?

[mitasha93]

Bravo

[idanceonmondays09]

we call it a stag leap at my studio

[lilsamich47]

stags at my studio are when both front AND back are in attitude.

[idanceonmondays09]

we call those double attitudes

[f7rouge]

Why lol?

aren't double attitudes when BOTH legs are in attitude?

[AnnieLives]

stags are similar to firebird leaps, but i don't think they're exactly the same.

[duckieluver22]

A stage is when one leg is in attitude in front of your body and the other leg is in an attitude behind your body.

[AnnieLives]

oh i see. thank you ( :

[piggybank4396]

stags are differnt cause in stags both legs are the same height

[TheRay258]

At my studio its called a barishnikof. It's russian

[SteelioC]

It's spelled Baryshnikov.

[dancinfevaaa818]

we call it an angel jump

[jbsister4lyf]

i love this jump i learned it when i was young...funny cause my schools masscote is a firebird

[dancemonkay15]

We call that an arch back leap. A really good on e is with your front leg straight out parallel to the floor

[AcemanJones]

noting like teaching people how to injure themselves via youtube.

[dance4ever74]

good video ... but i'll bet at least one of the girls/guys who watch this video will kick themself in the head ha!

[mitasha93]

haha I hope I dont

[lopito37]

mmmm, never heard of that leap before, and i know, now, the way of making that...firebird ^_^

[annayrb1]

no offence i mean if you probally wathcing these videos you are at a intermediate or higher level so you probally wont get hurt, and umm in dance classs we dont usuualy gett spotted? we get explained how to do itt and start off small and work our way to doing it better and they are called diffrent things casue in tap we do things called maxi 4 stags idk how to spell it but yeahh

[degrassigrl190]

haha yah idk how you would even spotted on it. lol

[xsdubya]

ummm....just to throw this detail out there...jazz and ballet have alot of the same moves with diffrent names..and it depends on where y ou learn it....calm down ppl...if u already kno the moves...just dont watch the video...

[sonicsdancer]

just so everyone knows, ther CAN BE more than one name for a dance move. It all depends on where you train and where you are from. a la seconde turns can also be called open turns or straight legged fouettes.

[GreekPrincess3000]

i forgot the name of a jump.

it had the back leg bent like in this video but the leg out in front is folded into ur pelvis.

please help!

x

[XcRoMbIrOx5181X]

I am pretty sure it might be called a stag leap.........

[Prestigedancer97]

It may also be called and elipso turn if you turn into it :)

[JonasLuvXoX5]

yeah i call it a elipso

[dancinggoddessofbloo]

double stag?

[ILOVEJB12322]

double stag. we do those across the floor.

[gymgymheart]

pause at 54

[Katie12859]

lol i once did a messy one and kicked my leg so far i kicked myself in the face and knocked myself out. yeah. it was painful.

[gregandsandy]

this video helped me with the fire bird leap so much and now i can go so high and do it really well!

[danceforlife123456]

ya this is also called a ring leap

[MayaMamaMia]

as a beginner myself.....this is most definately Not! a "dance move for beginners" this is really intimidating, but these videos are really helping

[xparamorepandas]

omg we're going this in dance!!!

[1234567890petros]

this video is the best!! i wnt more

[formaldehydelove16]

this is such a nice change to watch after those stupid expert village "dance" videos.

[dancerkatie618]

At my studio we call them scorpion jumps lol but it sounds like there are alot of different names for them based on the comments. Ur videos are so helpful i lUV them!! :D

[enneward]

are these also called ring leaps? beacause thats what i was taught. :)

[kmarisms41]

they do good leaps but their preperations for them are sooo wrong

[BalletSwan1]

beatiful. they are so fun! she is very good at them. i still need a little practice!

[elong10]

In gymnastics it's called a ring leap. Rythmic gymnasts attain crazy hard ring leaps.

[Ximetra]

We call them Stag Jumps

[alliepoo196]

we call there ring leaps

[Hil6903]

We call these teardrops. [:

[blackangel253]

is that ballais?

[fouettechick]

Yeah, We call those ring jumps too!

[dancingsprinkles2]

we call these "ring jumps" (cause ur back and back leg make a ring lol)

when she was doing it with the run, it didnt look like a "jump", it looked like a leap with the back leg in attitude

[DancingSoccerLife]

very nice!

aren't these called stag leaps though?

great job anyways =D

[ryantoinette]

Nope, stag leaps are preformed with both the front and back legs in attitudes. Her front leg, although it may have been bent a little, was not in an attitude. So these are not stag leaps.

[FlyingPancake0390]

Well just from my training, her leg shape is the same as a single stag, but we do two chaines turns (one in releve, one in plie) and then go into it. A double stag is when both legs are in attitude as ryantoinette mentioned with the same turning prep.

[Loves2dance13]

I do believe you're talking about doing a calypso. I've always done those with the chanie preperation you're talking about. You can do stag leaps/jumps like this, or with both legs bent back in attitude.

[dancingpineapple137]

yes a stag leap is turning. we call these ring leaps.

[rekupp]

I think you're confusing a stag leap with a calypso in where the body is propelled upward after a chaine.

this is a firebird/ring leap in which there is no turning and the back leg is in attitude nor arabesque.

[YouDontKnowMe115]

uhhhh,cool,

i guess. i still dont get it....

i am gonna practice ballet...

[lilazndancer0122]

so jealous lol nice job =]

[zerep]

I've always known that as a kitri jump from don quixote... not the firebird

[luv2dance1316133]

I never knew they were called firebird leaps.

[MsDanstar]

We call those ring leaps and grande scissones

[DanceDiva789]

The instructor lady sounds kind of mean...nice leap

[DuhItsHolister33]

yea she does sound mean..she proly is lol!

[danceteamer8]

YEAH AMY!

[adaugo123456789]
