Grand jeté
A long horizontal jump, starting from one leg and landing on the
other. Known as a split in the air. It is most often done forward and
usually involves doing full leg splits in mid-air. It consists basically
of a
grand écart with a moving jump. The front leg brushes straight into the air, as opposed to performing
dévelopé or "unfolding" motion. The back leg follows making the splits in the air. It can be performed
en avant (forward),
à la seconde (to the side),
en arrière (backward), and
en tournant
(turning en dedans).The dancer must remember to hit the fullest split
at the height of the jump, with weight pushed slightly forward, giving
the dancer a gliding appearance. Very likely or commonly used in modern
ballet, as well.
