  • You can start a switch leap by doing a sashay or three runs.
    Start sashay with left foot. Step with right foot. Brush your left leg to drive right leg up to hit right split in the air.
    Your right leg should be in plie. Don’t bring your left leg up too high, approximately a 45 degree angle.
    Don’t sit in your plie long or you will have no momentum to get up.
    Keep your back leg straight and turn out your back leg.
    Work on mastering your splits and straight leap to get a great switch leap!

      Amber Pro For improve pick a song that you can move to. When you get a good song that gives you nice vibes just let your body move to the song. Improve is all you, there's no correo and all you have to do is feel the music and move to it! Hope this helped

    I have a question what if you want to be in dance but you are not flexible you can't do flips and stuff like that

    • @lindseyp494
      @lindseyp494 6 лет назад +1

      Aurora flexibility can be improved with some stretching and hard work and you do not need to do flips to dance the only reason you would be doing a lot of flips is if you’re doing acro which a lot dancers do not take

    Okay, it's not sashay, it's chasse pronounced shah-say. I noticed that in the notes, haven't watched to hear if it's being mispronounced, but sashay is not a dance term.

    • @Esther_Grace

      She said chassé like 12 times, with perfect pronunciation. She slipped up once and said “sashay” but dancers are jerks.

    @johannalucas2239 6 лет назад +1

    I'm really not a fan that you said the left leap is a "dreaded" leap. Dancers have good and not so good sides but working both sides makes a dancer stronger. Also, if you demonstrated the tricks it would be a great visual.

    • @Esther_Grace
      @Esther_Grace 2 года назад +2

      1. She didn’t say not to work both sides. There are more righty dancers than lefty dancers, and many kids dread their bad side. Nothing wrong with that.
      2. Teachers don’t need to necessarily accomplish a movement in order to teach it well. She probably didn’t do it because she couldn’t, at least not anymore.

    I stopped watching at 1:15 because that is NOT a chasse
    Edit:
    Back 6 years later ☠️ guys.. ok I was trained in RAD ballet and dancecor contemp. For me, a chasse has always been one foot sliding out. Not what she has shown here. Its cool how the same words can be used for different thing around the world buuut this is not a chasse TO ME 😬

    • @abbeysiler3243
      @abbeysiler3243 8 лет назад +23

      It seemed to me she was just giving a briefing of the leap. She never did it full-out so I think she was just trying to be quick and simple.. Though I would have liked to see it done full-out

      @Dancr4ever 7 лет назад +9

      That is a chasse, which is a step forward and a ball change where the back leg "chases" the front leg. Chasse's go up in the air, step ball changes and she just didn't go very high.
