What do you think of today's video? Which type of Grand Jeté will you be trying? Let me know below! bit.ly/subscribetoRPM

She really called her out for being sweaty

[@skylardenise1379]

This is literally just 4 minutes of this dance teacher telling this girl she’s sweaty which I’m sure she already knows

[@dmarcifame1135]

I'm a beginner at age 15. your videos helped me a lot. it made me dance beter. especially to prepare me on my recital. my classmates (who were actually way younger than me) were surprised to know that i never had any experience (ballet/gymnastics) from my past. thank you so much!

[@RPMDance]

Thank you so much for this comment, Danyael! So wonderful to hear that my videos are helping you. Best of luck to you on your recital!

[@hianayoo4315]

same!

[@faithrichardson2454]

Danyael Clarise Mercado Same! I’m starting this September, im turning 15 in July.

[@lindsaymedlin1224]

I am 13 and just started so I get how hard it is especially because everyone else is already in pointe shoes

[@4Fabrejae]

Keep it up! DON’T QUIT! I was a ‘late starter’ too… but really, you have a greater advantage than your younger classmates in a way, because you already have established muscle memory and coordination with how your body moves. Stick with it! If you love it, it’s SO WORTH IT! ☺️❤️🩰

This teacher is pretty hilarious. Good video thanks

Bournonville was a Danish dancer & choreographer in the early-to-mid 1800's. He developed the "Bournonville style," which is what the Royal Danish Ballet performs. Probably best known for choreographing the 1836 version of La Sylphide.

[@LoriStrussgenarts]

High five Kestel!

[@bodyassetmovementevolution9596]

Thank you! I was writing these info myself then checked in he comments and found yours. Since it seems these videos are meant to teach something about ballet, I think this info was absolutely due 🙏

[@menaceX666]

Amazing. My Grand Jete has actually improved and now thanks to this video i can try different styles

[@RPMDance]

That's fantastic! So happy to hear :)

[@stephvvs550]

why does the dancer look like Malu Trevejo 💀

[@TheLadyDiazepam]

Saw Hermano Cornejo do 2 perfect grand jetes in a row dancing Puck in "Midsummer Night's Dream" at Lincoln Centre. One of my fave moments of my visit to NYC.

[@daniellysamara4392]

I loved IT!!!!

[@RPMDance]

Thanks for watching, Danielly!

[@BreeElisexo]

My beginner adult ballet teacher made us do straight leg leaps today and I literally could not stop the developpe!! straight leg is so hard

[@minissa2009]

Pretend you're doing a grand battement to get into it. (Yeah, Russian stage leaps look cooler and are more fun to do)

[@taylorkillian2295]

it was great and man i can barely do the spits

[@Susan-pl7jc]

Thanks for telling us how sweaty the girl is. Damn.

[@LoriStrussgenarts]

Yes. August Bournonville.

[@charlessmith263]

I tried doing the "Bourgnonville" variation of the grand jete. Not easy, but still good. A caveat: in the Bourgnonville variation of the grand jete - the landed foot needs to pile as you do that spectacular "attitude pose" at the end, or your landed knee might end up badly injured. This is because the landed foot will be the supporting foot that will allow you to explode out into that "attitude position" after that "jete" jump.

[@raccoonvalleycentreforthea2912]

Hi, you asked for commentary. Btw, its a great vid, however at 2:16 your student is doing a developé not a "straight leg jeté" - of course there are names for each of these jumps that describe the technical aspects, and that's why using some terminology is beneficial as it gives reference to the training method (i.e. a jeté with developé being a grand saut de chat, or a sauté jeté developé, to distinguish the difference, etc... yet that is really just semantics, and depends upon the methodology.). SO, Likewise at 3:49 your student is executing the jeté en attitude with a bent knee, rather than a tendue-degagé-jeté grand battement - and just a little past that at 3:49 you can see that the student, because of the bent leg prep that skipped the engagement through the floor, is already leaning forward towards the finishing direction of the jeté, which causes a less effective vertical take-off and causes more effort in jumping. There's some stylistic things that could use work, and the jeté en attitude is not exclusively the Bournonville - it seems everyone (in the US) just calls this sequence "a Bournonville jeté" as a catch-all term - yet in the Bournonville School this sequence is referred to by its technical terms... Thanks and if you have issue with these comments then rsvp, yet you did finish your video by stating that this was all about making better dancers and improving the way teachers teach... so Thank you!

[@RPMDance]

Hi and thank you for your acute observation of what the technical pictures to picture to picture ,beautifully correct !!! The point of what we are teaching is the principles of physics .We slow motioned this so you could see what motivates the movement which should always be taught first, teaching the name of the technique first and the picture inevitably creates tension & stagnates the movement .... Specifically what are your cues to create the impetus, momentum , physics ?? Truly we should always teach the motivation before the movement. Alas these are the Principles of movement.

[@raccoonvalleycentreforthea2912]

@@RPMDance With all due respect: what does this mean? "...We slow motioned this so you could see what motivates the movement which should always be taught first, teaching the name of the technique first and the picture inevitably creates tension & stagnates the movement .... " There is no slow motion in the video, and the motivation for the step is for the dancer to learn to fly! i.e. throw themselves skillfully and gracefully into the air and land with aplomb, stability, and lightness in a visible position. The physics that are missing are the brushing of the foot throughout the jeté, which when that brushed extension (i.e. Tendue into battement) is done the jump becomes airborne without the dancer bending the leading leg (use whatever terms you want - how a straight leg jeté/jump is not suppose to have a bent knee when the foot leaves the floor it should, because of the physics of the jump, already be an extended-fully-stretched leg!) The principal of the movement is not demonstrated in your video - sorry - its not! If the instruction to the student had been clear from the beginning then the student would not be executing a developé jeté when your video states that the student is doing a "straight-leg jeté." As for "motivation" that is an academic abstract thought and has little to do with the actuality of executing the TECHNIQUE of classical ballet because every jeté done in any number of ballets can and will have a type of character, or choreographic impetus that the creator of the dance wants the dancer to express! Technique is PHYSICAL - motivation is an internal emotional and mental construct that does little to assist the technical execution of Any step in classical ballet. Some days there is nothing to motivate a dancer except that they go to class and/or perform their role in the ballet being presented - this is the professional attitude behind "being a ballet dancer" - some days you do it, whether you like it or not - because the person who wants to or has become a professional dancer "loves the art for the sake of the art" not because they are choosing or finding the "right motivation!" Physics is the science of movement, not the motivation of it. The "cues" (as you refer to it) are plié, brush to battement... etc... (there's good book called "The Classic Ballet" by Balanchine & Kirstein & Stuart; there's also another one called the "Classical Ballet Technique" by Ward-Warren, as well as the old manuscripts from Cecchetti, Vaganova, Bournonville, etc... These dancers needed no "cues" they knew technique. Technique is the freedom of movement because technique enables proper physical execution of all movement possibilities and thereby (should) avoid the potential of injury. Movement comes Before motivation of a step because the steps are going to be arranged according to a story, characterization, or choreographer's impetus. Practice and repetition create the "space" for a dancer to be unconcerned with the technical execution so that they can focus on the expression necessary for the role they are portraying - not the other way around! - this is the main distinction between the Modern Dance Movement and Classical Ballet. Because in Classical Ballet the expression comes after the technique, without the physicality of technique there can be no 'freedom of movement' which enables expression - because movement IS expression.

[@amandao.7705]

RPM Dance she’s doing a saut de basque not a grand jete

[@mzfrizzle1794]

The teacher makes me a bit uncomfortable with her touch and comments on the dancer’s sweat..?

[@marcelinarosarosa2385]

Amo esse canal!! São movimentos extremamente bem executados. A Adriana é uma excelente bailarina. Ela tem canal no KZbin?!!

[@joliegreen-molloy5315]

honestly i find it's kinda sad how i started ballet at age 3 then stopped at 8 because my friends left me just under a year then i started again at 12. honestly i barely learn anything with my teacher

[@leyamayak]

but it 1:55 was grand pas de chat

[@jasiekwisnia2786]

POV:your music teacher send this on your wideo lesson chat

[@user-ll3km2ht8k]

1:52 1:55

[@ACCastell-737]

whats the grand jete at the end of billy elliot?

[@RPMDance]

A parallel saut de chat !!

[@jacket8928]

1:50

[@tsunami7973]

2:13

[@Erin-el1gi]

I wonder if she’s sweaty

[@human_rights0]

I Luv this but dance not break any body structure m right?

[@nhayahsgoode]

The teacher should learn to stop touching. Unless she's assisting with positioning.

[@minissa2009]

Didn't you leave out a "developpe" grand jete (which lots of people call a Russian stag leap)? Also, it's very hard to see in this video but the thing that distinguishes what you're calling a Bournonville gj is that the back leg is in attitude---which your dancer is doing but again, hard to see. Also, Bournonville typically had both arms lowered in sort of demi-seconde with palms up. And normally his dancers only touched the floor briefly before springing back up into the air. And why are you making fun of his name? This guy has an entire technique named after him, do you really not know who he is?

[@gulinlangbroek7752]

Why do you have to make her feel bad about her sweat?

[@RPMDance]

Sorry we were really joking ,I know Adriana well and we were laughing before we shot the video she was not offended Florida is really humid and hot where we shot the video

[@shougatea]

that intro was so awkward

[@daphnesplinter2842]

We all know that the girl is sweaty. The translation of the text is just terrible.

[@eliseneitz3910]

Toxic dance teaching at its finest 🤌🏻

[@nhayahsgoode]

The teacher is cringey,

[@RPMDance]

Really I am not , we are friends and have known this dancer for years ....

[@TheLadyDiazepam]

Too much giggling & messing about. Rehearse once or twice to get it out of your system.

[@hannahmiller7347]

This teacher is pretty hilarious. Good video thanks
