jeté entrelacé
The "jeté entrelacé" is a ballet movement that combines a jump with a crossing of the legs in the air. It is typically performed by a dancer who leaps from one foot and crosses the other leg in front or behind while in mid-air. This movement showcases both agility and grace, making it a visually striking element in ballet choreography.
In a jeté entrelacé, the dancer often lands on the same foot from which they jumped, maintaining balance and control. This technique is commonly seen in classical ballet performances and is an essential skill for dancers, contributing to their overall repertoire of jumps and leaps.
