This used to be my favorite move after I learned it in 4th grade! I haven’t done ballet in so long and watching this, hearing all the old ballet verbiage makes me want to again

[@charlessmith263]

It is also known as "tour de jete". Even at 49 years young I can still do this advanced ballet move quite well. It is even used by lead dancers in paso doble competition dancing as a highlight, outside its common use in the ballet environment!!!!

This is such a great way to learn tour jete. 👍

My problem is that I always rond de jamb. This is in my competition dance and I need to get it down. Thank you for the tutorial.

At 0:58, good camera angle and explanation most helpful.

[@Alliereisert2884]

She is the best ballet teacher

It is really cool to compare the styles and execution of the tour jete and the tour jete in gymnastics. I did gymnastics and that's where I learned how to do it, but mine looks very different from this one.

[@XRATMOMMYX]

beautiful work.

[@TraciMann]

Interesting on the spot to the back!

It's a common myth to battement front. Even the student flips the battements to the side before her heels even leave the ground when she actually has to jump the step at 1:16 in the video. So while the student is being told to demonstrate it incorrectly, she performs the step correctly. Here's the screen capture image. imgur.com/KtWSHeP

Tour Jete 👏

[@GoogleUser-ee8ro]

is this jump also called entrelace by any chance?

[@marielaperriere]

I believe tour jete, entrelace and grand jete en tournant are all the same movement

[@LilianaCoutoBallet]

Very good

1:07 how do I fix the leg circling around thing? I can’t figure it out for the life of me

[@balletinform7150]

I hear you:-) Personally, I make sure their grand battlement is directly in front and not ‘open’, if it’s out to the side or at a weird angle they then under turn their body and can’t brush behind for the grand battement back. A trick I often use is standing next to the student at the barre when they do a tour jete, if their leg in circling they hit the teacher:-)

Ballet In Form Thanks!

I'll never know how they can meet both legs in the air, turn around, and then be in arabesque all before landing.
