How To Do A Ballet Leap I Saut De Chat @MissAuti

WE ARE LEAPING BEAUTIES. Get it?! Instead of Sleeping Beauties. Anyway..
Today I teach you how tombé pas de bourrée your little hearts out and do your big, gorgeous saut de chat (jump of the cat!). I wanted to take the time to break down the ballet leap and make sure all levels of dancers could learn some grand allegro. I hope you enjoy! Send me some videos on IG and tag me in stories of you trying this out! I'd love to repost on my story.
Wohoo!

As a self taught dancer this will really help me, thank you 🙏🏼

[@stephanieshow2118]

Love u so much auti. I really want u to be my dance teacher Like if u agree with me

[@MatthewBowman]

This was useful. I'm not learning to dance myself, but I'm writing a novel and needed both terms and depictions for reference.

[@donnamarie6840]

Lovely. I particularly found it very helpful how you broke down the tombe, pas de bourree, chasse. That is used in my dance class all the time. As to the leaps one of my teachers in Jazz has us starting to work on what he calls brush leaps. The front leg sort of does a degage and the back leg is straight. He says think of jumping over a puddle. :) In my mind I think I look like you, but the mirror tells a different tale. :) LOL Thank you for the awesome videos and Braden, too. They really are quite helpful.

[@rosanerio2]

OOOOOOHHHHH HOW I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!! Thank you ever SO much!! ( keep them coming! so precious tips indeed!!!)

Auti I have so many questions.I was 6 when I learnt just a some ballet moves I was obsessed and then I quited ballet.But now i am thinking to learn it again and I am 13.Please give me the links of the things I can't do. 1.Leap leg stretch because I can't do the full split leap. 2.The ballet spin(Twirl). 3.The ballet Arabesque(not the normal one the one in which our leg is fully stretched in). Please send me the links if you have made a tutorial of these 3 things. Thanks❤

[@elspethmcintyre]

You're so elegant!

[@lovelymichelle86]

Awesome! Is it possible to land with one foot? I'm curious how the root and upper body react when the foot lands and balances the whole body. lol or is it a different leap?

[@wings.mp3]

great reference for animators, thank you!

[@priyankap2877]

Wow, really needed it, these are called grand jetes in ballet

[@Catski0]

Oh no, watching this video to look for tips to improve my figure skating split jump. Just realised that ballet needs the right leg in front. For figure skating it would be the left, and now i'm totally confused.... beautiful leaps though!!😍

[@asimpforjohaseul9693]

I don’t expect her to answer lol , but , Auti do you think it’s too late to start ballet at 16? 💕

[@annedashwood5619]

I may not be auti but I can tell you that it is never too late to start doing something that you love and 16 is'nt even that old if you do take up this advise and start ballet then best of luck 😊👍

[@kamicaze8684]

I started at 16, go for it!!

[@Rostislav1977]

depends on goals - - for professional work and career it's obviously the age 16 is just late; - for own needs and just practicing pretty physical activity it's obviously never too late.

[@mialevings1097]

Could I ever go en pointe if I start ballet at age 14? I’ve been doing contemporary but I’m starting ballet in a few months.

[@lyricalliz]

I'm not Miss Auti; but yes you can! Just take ballet 3-4 times per week and listen to your teacher to see if your feet, ankles, legs, and technique is strong enough to not injure yourself!

[@mialevings1097]

lyricalliz I have been taking contemporary for two months now once a week (I just got my splits). I also stretch everyday for 30 mins. Would I be able to improve quickly if I took contemporary once a week, and ballet twice? I’d continue with stretching everyday, but would this sort of schedule help me advance quickly? Also I’m 13 right now, I’ll be 14 in a few months.

[@lyricalliz]

@@mialevings1097 Every dancing class will help a bit; but you will need to focus primarily on ballet classes, both with only flats (ballet slippers) and pre-pointe classes, where they really prepare your muscles for pointe work. If you have good teachers, they won't rush into it for you, as it can really injure you if you're not ready. Listen to your teachers, try to take more or the right prep classes and you should be fine! Good job stretching every day, that helps dance in general. What you will need is more foot, ankle, and leg/hip strength for pointe. Good luck! You can do it.

[@lesliesnow3791]

I don't expect to get an answer but do I need to have my splits to achieve the leap?

[@miaswiftie8697]

Yes because a full leap is basically a split in the air

[@diagodonaldgodinho5507]

Hi Auti plz upload a video on a la sicon

I just finished doing a full split but it's still not that balanced , how the heck am i supposed to float?!?

[@mollym7436]

It's funny how I can do great oversplits and firebirds and calypsos but not a simple saut de chat lol

Yeah but on Netflix I watched it as leap and yes it’s the same when the girl was from the orphanage.
