Thats a calypso.

Whaddup with the microphone? xD & Yes, this is a calypso, but it might be called a stag leap too.

@HASixgun Actually a stag leap is when both the front and back leg are bent. 0:54 is the posistion, but in the air.

[xXKenzieGurlXx]

Uhhhh yeah I'm pretty sure this is a Calypso leap... A stag leap in the position she was in at 0:54 but in the air.......

Isn't this a firebird/calypso. I thought a stag leap had a bent front leg and straight back leg.

@BoredSilhouette Depends on the type of microphone, if you want to get technical about it ...

[BoredSilhouette]

The microphone ain't there for nothing sweety, it goes by your mouth not your stomach!

@Gkg3692 not always...this is modern.jazz, not classical ballet.

@Gkg3692 A lot of pros in companies put their tights on top of their leotards, because it's too much fuss to put it on underneath and take them off later if you need to go somewhere or change for jazz, hip-hop, etc.
