Grand jete en tournant thingy

[IndigoCat17]

How do u do that leap ?

[IndigoCat17]

That was good

[HansGloor]

tombe coupe jete!!!!

[msguineapigsrus]

that's a calypso or barishnakov (don't know how to spell it)

[calichicka15y]

Yeah that is NOT an en tournant :S

[DaNitheG1rL]

thats a calypso, a grand jete e tournant is a turn with a jete. A tour jete is like a turn with a scissor switch of the legs.

[wajerodancer09]

What you are doing here is a turn leap. A grand jete en tournant is also known as a tour jete.

[sjkgirl]

thats an attitude!

[noogerfied]

i call those things 'turning jetes with attitude leaps' in jazz.... :] does anyone no where i can view a person doing a grande jete en tournant doing it extremely well and it is not a ordinary grande jete, cant find it anywere, i wanna see what t looks like coz i probs did htem badly in my exam -.-

[TricksterJack01]

you need to have a look at martial arts tricking. you may identify with it better.

[cammy1294]

thats actually a calypso and not a grand jete en tournant in gjet's you aim to do a penche in the air to do it put your back to the audience stand in b plus, chasse fling the trailing leg up turn to the back and flail your other leg up

[angelshanna77889]

haha i think in my version it's grand jete en tournant en avant or grand jete en avant en tournant... really dunno, i mix those two terms up here =P

[xoxodancingoxox]

great job! just fyi...in ballet that's called tombe jete attitude.

[Keshiadancer968]

Thats a Tour Jete aka baryshnikov

[Robertking1996]

no it's not.

[Keshiadancer968]

Isn't it?

[Robertking1996]

no she didn't turn she tried to but only ended up putting her leg in attitude so she made it a calypso.

[angelshanna77889]

haha bet i can't do that in a lifetime.

[ctswright]

we call those calypso or capezios in jazz or dance team dance (which is totallly different from ballet)

[Mart001054]

our grand jetes en tournant are different from that. Yours looks cool though!! =]

[BananaGurlBallet]

same

ours are like turning scissor kicks , but with more ballet technique lool :D

[kathleenkathleenkath]

that wasent a grande jete it was a brishnicoff

[redgillis3]

you mean a baryshnikov (as in the great ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikove....and it was a grand jete....jete means leap from one foot to the other; grande jete is a large leap...and it is turning (en tournant) there's lots of names for this leap...sometimes i call it a jete attitude en tournant..... :)

[rhythms08]

That looks good :)

Does anyone know how you go about learning these?

[3082115]

i call those calypsos or capezios.. pretty good job.

[dancingpixie09]

it's called a calypso leap

[mwaziz]

this is really good!

my friend had to do this in a play, and i do ballet also and jazz and ive been trying to teach myself. Can you or anyone else tell me how to do this?!?! like give me pointers?!

[emcctchn]

if you ground yourself more on the chaine(sp) turn before the jump...you will really be able to pop off the floor in the perfect leap or in your case the calypso. :)

[ClaaudioJunior]

good, very good dear!

watch my videos too.

(:

[musicalinc]

That was a pretty good jump, but it wasn't a grand jete en tournant. It looked more like a jack jump.

[georgiemaryk]

it was good! and as for what vintageislife said, i don't think the back leg should be straight in this step.

[vintageislife]

in a grand jete en tournant, it should be.

[GiRLKlutz]

i was good...but it helps me to do it if i plie on the second chaine... but it was decent though...and in jeans!!!

[Irena66607]

Much better then I could do...

however I agree with mbh56

[jamieStatuS]

I hear the Stray Cats playing. Good job!

[Anadance]

no, that was good!

[mbh56]

yeah, it was, point your feet and pull up as you go into the air

[vintageislife]

she also needs to straighten out her back leg.

[fredarooni]

She could have meant to do a cylopso (sp?) which is where your front leg is straight and you back leg is back atitude.

[vintageislife]

no it doesn't look like that was what she was trying to do...

[catcherinred]

a calypso is where both are bent, she was trying to do a grande jete en tournent

[Robertking1996]

a calypso both legs are not bent one is in attitude th other should be straight as possible

[KelOfMindelan]

@Robertking1996 no, a calypso is when the leading leg is straight and fanned up and over while the other leg is in attitude

[tippitytaptap]

yea....it probably was

[9fallingangel7]

buen salto ;)

[TeeJay1625]

nice!
