How to Do a SPLIT LEAP (or Grand Jeté) - Step by Step Tutorial

In this video, our resident gymnastics expert Cris Mironescu will explain 'How to Do a SPLIT LEAP - Step by Step Tutorial'. The split leap is one which can be incorporated into various styles of movement, whether gymnastics, acrobatics, dance or others. In ballet it is known as the grand jeté. Cris shows us what we need to do to perfect this movement, showing us how to stretch and limber up to get our body in the position where the split leap is as natural as any other jump. The split leap is, essentially, the splits in the air, so we need to ensure we can get this movement as smooth as possible before we make the leap.

If the leg is bent on take off does that not make it a saut de chat?

[@ashmitams179]

It's kinda working

[@lavender9481]

This is a saut de chat because it’s a devolepe out

At the beginning your leap was the wrong direction your butt cant be facing the audience in dance

F.Y.I. The split leap you’re doing isn't a grand jeté. You’re actually doing a saut de chat.

what's the difference between the two? can you tell me?

[@ccj9216]

@@maristelafabruada3461 the difference is that with a grande jeté, you keep your leg straight the entire time so you have to basically battement the leg. With a saut de chat you developpé the leg into a split. I hope this helps.
