    Now I'm going to demonstrate a calypso leap. You start out in fondu tendu into a nice kick and an attitude. Let me break that down for you. The arms first, so through first and then stretch all the way back into a while you're in the air. The position of the leap looks like this.
    And I teach this, actually, on the floor. I'll show you. The one leg is extended out to the side. The left leg is in a nice elongated attitude and you're pressing into the. This is how the leap should look in the air on the ground. The preparation for the calypso leap starts in a nice fondu tendu. So you start in first position. Tendu the right leg. Fondu the left. Go into a tombe. Then a parallel pirouette. I mean, sorry, a parallel . The right leg fans up and around, extended out to the side. The hips go up and over as the left leg comes up into an attitude and you combre your back into the position.
    It's a little bit hard to break down in that much slow motion because it's a big jump. But, let's try to do that with . Okay, this is a calypso leap. Slowly first. Not full out just so you see the mechanics of the leap. Tombe, parallel, extend into the combre attitude. Now I'll show you what it looks like to actually leap it. And there's a calypso leap.

    • @ainsleystewart2718
      @ainsleystewart2718 8 лет назад +6

      In a calypso, you have your back leg in an attitude. In a chaine, both legs are straight.

    Idk why yall saying this is so hard. All types of leaps are easy. I learned this in my second week of dance class. What's hard in jazz are turns. Skill level isn't really important. Just work very hard, find help on corrections, and improve your technique. Applying all this can make you a good dancer.
    What confuses me is, idk we could tombe for a leap. I thought it was always plie in second before leaping. The more you know
    Competition dance... well that's another matter.

    I’m trying to do the calypso leap can u tell me why the second leg who goes in attitude when starts to go in air the other leg falls in that instant on the floor? I mean i don’t understand why my legs aren’t together in the air can u tell me why or what i gotta do?

    • @mason1239113
      @mason1239113 6 лет назад +4

      Chiara Pierfranceschi when you get into your down chaine you have to think of both legs brushing up simultaneously :) try to push off the floor to really get the legs up and get more air time. Also another thing to take note of is if you think of mostly your front leg fanning OVER you’re more likely to hit the floor quicker so instead think of brushing out and keeping it straight like the position you would be in on the floor
