Here are my tips for getting a higher grand jete in ballet class. This is an iconic jump that dancers do. Everyone wants that perfect split. This is different than a saut de chat, but the principles are the same. Really think of getting that front leg up as soon as you can.

I have to admit I 'stole' some of your explanations, because as a dance teacher (I teach ballet and contemporary/lyrical), it's sometimes hard to explain things in a way all of the kids can understand.
You helped me a lot, as a dancer and as a dance teacher! Thank you! :)
I am so glad you did! That is why I do these videos- please feel free to use anything you like!
Kathryn Morgan
Thank you, I definitely will! :)

This was so hard for me😢
I have been struggling with grand jete's for so long! I am very flexible and have no problem doing my splits but leaps have never been my strongest area. I think my biggest problems are my upper body and getting my back leg up fast enough. My back leg tends to lag behind a little and brings my down. Thank you for all the tips! I will definitely be using them in class tonight!!
Same with me.
Omg. I keep hearing "soda shop" instead of "saut de chat". JUST ME?
Sherry Lu NOW I CANT UNHEAR IT WTF 😂
Sherry Lu why did you do this to me help
omg saaaaaaame thats what i thought too
Sherry Lu I CANT UNHEAR IT NOW!!!!!!!!!
Wow
I’ve been a dancer for over a decade and you still say things that make so much more sense than what what I was taught, and it makes the basics feel so much better - thank you
It not even a ballet dancer but I watch all your videos and pretend I know what things are😂😂😂
melissa kelly same 🤷🏻♀️
Same!
Love your leg warmers!!
Thank you!
+Kathryn Morgan where did you get them? :)
They are Wear Moi. So any dance wear store that sells them! I believe I got mine specifically through Discount Dance Supply.
you see then there is a flexibility problem...
Dope Dancer Specially when I just started ballet and my teacher tells us to do Grande jetes, and I can do like a 45 degree aerabesque, how can I do a full leap 😂?
If you want to be flexible you need to work really hard, most people aren't naturally flexible but they push themselves until they are.
@@schoooooools6680 a leap takes swing power rather than an arabesque or a develope that take a lot of strength. plus don't be so sure of urself, u might be less dope than u think
maayan yaniv damn calm down they were just saying what they are good and what not
I HAVE ALL OF MY SPILTS PERFECT BUT I STILL CANT GET MT GRAND JETÈ OMGGGG
"Not cute!" lol... you're adorable! You look great, too! Love that leotard!
Great Advice!!!
For Grand Jetè exercises; After I've done grand battements and stretching I will cloche straight and in attitude with small travel on the barre before going to across the floor. It helps to get the sensation of grand jetè.
You mean so much to me as an aspiring ballet dancer who started a year ago (but had to take breaks).
Thank you so much!
"Not cute" hahaha I loved it!
thank you so much for all your videos. I only started ballet 2 years ago as an adult but your channel has been so helpful and inspiring. You really got me going for it
Kathryn your body looks amazing!!!!
Thank you! I'm getting there!

You are the best ballet teacher I've ever seen because your KNOW your craft literally from the inside out and have such a gift of communicating that knowledge.
i know this video is old, but in the 4 years of dancing in classrooms and studios i've never ever heard someone tell us the front leg has to be 90 degrees and that's when it all clicked for me thank you sm
She goes : go somewhere Me : I go out the 🚪 door.
I LOVE the way you explain it great job on this video
ah dearest katie your clothing is quite colorful today, all the shapes looks like artwork, and your jump looks really pretty, and I think this is the most exuberant definition of how to do a grande jette of all your instruction videos, almost in an agressive fashion.
I have tried so many videos and this is the only one that helped
Love those leg warmers!!!!
would you do a video on back flexibility? I have a strong back but it's not very flexible
Kathryn,thank you so much for this video.I always struggles when doing grand jetes,my teacher said that I don't open my legs wide.I found the 90° tip really helps me.And I love your legwarmers.Keep being amazing 💓
Thank you so much! I am so glad this helped.
I love your videos!!!! Could you do a video focused on dancing with bowed/hyperextended legs?
You are such a great dancer!!! Have u done a video on scissor leaps? if not can u ???
Mackenzie Stroud Yes please!!
I watched your saut de chat video and used your tips in my ballet class yesterday and it helped so much!! Can't wait to used the grand jete tips!!! :)
I'm so glad my videos have been helping you!
I'm not even a dancer I just love your videos (plus I'm now really flexible which my fencing coach is loving)
Thank you for making these videos. They have helped me so much!
FINALLY A GOOD TEACHER VIDEO
This vid alone made me get it first try the tips rlly helped were the 90 degree angle the travel and the back leg up I used to always focus on getting my front leg up which only got me a lil bit high and also i always focused on height and honestly the 90 degree tip just changed my life I always did a lil hop hoping to get somewhere but your video made me get it instantly
Dear Kathryn, thank you so much.
My pleasure!
I love your explanations, are helpful for my daughter. Would love for you to be able to demonstrate it more so she can get a visual rather than imagining in her mind what she needs to do. Thank you for taking the time to make these helpful videos!!
3:00 I laughed so much
Hi Katie! I have a question, I am very one-sided in dance, as my flexibility, jumps and pirouettes on my left side are terrible compared to my right side. I've got to the point now where it feels extremely foreign to attempt a double pirouette on my left without falling or a grand jeté without looking like a bear because my left leg flexibility is lacking so much. Do you have any tips to help me change this?
Asta Hinton I'm no professional, but I'm similar to you; maybe stretch your left side and work it twice as more or twice as hard. However, don't overstretch or overstretch one side too much. Be mindful and good luck!
Ava's Life Thanks! I'll definitely keep that advice in mind!
I have the same problem ... sometimes I feel my left foot is on strike for the en dehors . Help!
Ava's Reads I’m similar too except left is better
What I did was what every I practised on my right, practice twice on my left leg. So every ten sets of pirouettes on my right, I’d do twenty on my left until I caught up
Hi Kathryn! I just got Nutcracker casting for this year, and I will be performing Clara. I was wondering if you would consider doing a video all about this role...dealing with jealousy/drama, makeup, and getting the artistry right. Thanks! -Ella

just discover your yt channel and omg i was looking for these kind of channel for years
I'm a newer ballet teacher and love these videos. Sometimes the explanation my instructors gave me won't do it (including "just do it" sometimes) I need a different view of it.
Hello Kathryn!
Thank you for yet another fantastic video! i am so grateful what you are doing for all of us. I am more than amateur when it comes to dancing and love love LOVE your basic series! My plies and port de bras really improved after seeing your tutorial videos.
Therefore I wondered if you would consider doing a basic video about arabesques (i never know where my arm should go, what mental images would help to get that leg up high) and about attitudes (am unsure about the whole knee higher than toe thing)?
Thank you so much in advance for reading and for being so inspirational ❤️
Best wishes from Norway 😘
I'd like you to make a video about the differents types of pas de valse! Thanks a lot!!
Love the leg warmers!!!!!
So, I have to do a Grand jete for my studios Vivaldi variation, ON MY LEFT so I'm stressed so thank you for this!
thanks so much! I can finally actually do a grand jeté thanks to you
Your channel is the best thank you, you have the best content for dancers and for me as I start my professional dancing career 😊💜
This is still the only reason why I can do this jump
love this outfit!
Kathryn can you do a video on grande tour jete? I really struggle with it especially getting the back leg up after landing. Thank you!
Fiona YES PLEASEEE
When I do either a saut de chat or a grand jete I always think "reach!" because it's like you're reaching for the ceiling (does that make sense?)
You are an inspiration to me!
Thank you so much!
so grateful for all your helpful tips you're a great teacher!
I see lots of questions about your outfit. Maybe you could include the details of your Looks in all your posts. Love your vídeos!
Thank you SO MUCH for these videos!!!
Love your videos so much! They have helped me tremendusly! You are just such an innspiraton for me! Also I've been waiting for this video becauseI strugle with grand jetes A LOT!
Thank you! I hope this video helps!
Well, all your other videos have helped me especialy the ones about piruettes and turns so I expect nothing less from this one.
YOu're a really good teacher, tahnks :)
Great explanation, super helpful! And not to mention, love your outfit :D
thanks a lot!❤💖 it is now that i get the difference between thise one and saut de chat!!! btw I love your outfit!!!
Thank you!
You make it look so easy girll😂😂
I laughed so hard when she was at 3:00 :)
Helpful demonstration, thanks! :)
Wow! This helped me so much. Thanks a lot!
my grand jete is tres petit rn, and I want to work on it, so thank you ^_^
I have the same leg warmers as you from wearmoi! I love them, great video!
Hey Kathryn! I'm currently a student strictly focusing on ballet. I'm nine years old and my teachers have really been drilling in body positions. (Personally I'm being trained in the vagonova method.) I would really like a video on body positions, for example croise decant, that sort of thing.
Croise devant, sorry
I have my full splits in one leg and I almost have it on the other bit when I do it , my legs look like I’ve got no flexibility
These videos are amazing! They help me so much in class and my technique is much stronger, thanks to you
this is a great video! Do you have tips other then the ones in the video for getting the back leg up? That is what ruins my leaps unfortunately. Thanks❤❤
What kind of dance flooring is that? I've been looking for some to put in my room but I can't find the right kind!😕
your leaps r so perfect its not fair
Love the grey leotard. I hope to achieve this step eventually. I know this sounds off the subject but I'm curious about if it's possible if you can make wearable looks from the Nutcracker series like Snow flakes or Spanish etc . ?
I will work on that. :)
Wonderful I can hardly wait. This will be so exciting
I just started pointe and it seems undoable! my teacher said I did good for a first lesson but it feels like I'll never attain a good level !:(
AHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your the best!!
Thank you!
Hi Katie! I'm a fan from Hong Kong:) Can u do a video on how to improve your arch? Thankss! Btw you are such an inspiration to me:) xoxo
Thank you! I will work on it.
Katie, thank you so much for this! I find grande jete so much harder than seux de chat, but I find I can do grande jete better on my left side. Also do you have any suggestions for hyperextension in the knees to make sure the, back leg especially, straightens fully while in the air. It's something I've been working on but can't get it consistently.
I've struggled with jumps all my life. I watch these other girls in my class in oversplits in my class and then I can barely do the splits haha
The tips really helped me in feeling a bit of height and travelling! But I feel a bit of cramps on the back of my thighs right below my glutes... Any idea why? Thank you :)
I was wondering if you could do a video on how to bourree
So helpful love these videos 💜
Thank you!
Thank u❤️❤️❤️
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
- (AMPLIFIED version)
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
If you have any questions let me know xx

I like your leg wear😌👠
Thank you!
lllloooove the outfit!!! @_@
advice is useful, as always :) huge thanks for all your work!
Thank you!
love it. thank you.
Thaaaanks
Best way to lead in to the grand jete - my opinion......
Tombe > Pas de bourree > Glissade > Grand Jete.
You're outfit looks super nice !😍 where did you get this grey body ?
Hello! When you say brush the leg up you aren’t brushing off the floor correct? In the air?
Thank you another great video!! Could you do a video on improving brisés? I can never get the hang of them. @Kathryn Morgan
This is so helpful!!!
I'm so glad!
I am not on pointe yet but whenever I jump my shoes make a loud noise but when I do it without shoes I make no noise and it really does not sound elegant lol
Heyy kathryn i love your videoss
Thanks!
I like it
what is the differences between grand jete and jete?
Hello my name is joshika David hilari l am 10 years old l like your video but l have a question. Is it possible to jump continuously for 9 second and landing easily lf l keep on practicing l can jump far and high for nine second.
Thank you so much from doing these videos! where did you get your top from?!xx
It is a Danskin top that is no longer available. But there are similar ones at DanceWear Corner.
The biggest problem I have is my back leg do you have any tips
Ballet teacher always says saut de chat is mostly meant to travel and your grande jete is supposed to go up so I'm torn
i love your video.
Loving the wear moi leg warmers, what are they like I've been contemplating whether or not to get them?
This was really useful as my jete is atrocious. I can get my back leg up but struggle with my front leg.
They are some of my favorite leg warmers.
Lexi lex that's the same problem I have when I do grand jetes!
hello I don't know if you will reply but my grand jete has to land on one leg and stay and I can never stay when I achieve all the corrections like travel and out. and my grand jete often lands realllyyyy loud. Do you have any corrections for me please? my competition is in 3 weeks and I am so scared.
i have a question I can get some height but I have trouble getting my back leg anywhere close to straight?
I can do splits but when I'm in the air it's like /\
hey Katie, love this video ~ I was just wondering where you got your skirt? xx
It's a Yumiko!
Sorry about what I said but why'd you have to things like that if you look at your video 1:34
