Ballet - Swan Lake Siegfried danced by Jose Martinez

It is rather good, actually, because it is bang on the music - something which makes or breaks this variation as much as the body work.

Il symbolise la "belle danse" française chère à Louis XIV

that was poor and messy

@jgh37 (sadly shakes head). His execution is exemplary, this is a dynamic portrayal of difficult choreography.

@ubiquim I do not recall writing this comment, I have to agree with you...that was rather good. It may have been written by my partner who sometimes uses my account by mistake.

@jgh37 Fair enough, life happens right?

It's the speed of the take-off, and it takes controlled effort by jet propulsion, i.e., you push on the floor very fast to go up. Speed is built up by doing slow work as a beginner (and holding poses), and in later years doing tendus etc. in 1/4, 1/8, and faster times. It takes years. It takes much more time to learn to protect the legs and spine coming down. Best to go up off of one leg and land on two feet at first (like a plie-releve on one leg, but as a jump, landing in fifth).
