Connecting Grand Battement with Grande Jeté

Some may say that bringing the head back during grand battement is a stylistic choice. For me, this is a utility to help bring the leg up higher. If we think about the trajectory movement that's required for grand jeté, the utility of the head positioning can be very helpful.

OMG, that thinking about essential details is so important; not very common, though. That's why I aprreciate Mr. Du so highly.

Very well explained the laws of leverage in g battm, ballet is technically speaking law of leverage everywhere, even in tendus. Beautiful video

Are those the only possible arm positions? I’ve seen dancers using both arms to the front, the outside arm lower than the inside arm. Is that possible? ,
