Ballet Figure 03

Real ballet move, with terms.

This is a very common combination in ballet, starting with a tombe pas de bourrée, linked with a glissade, then followed by the big jump, called "saut de chat" or "grand jeté développé". (Yes ballet terms may vary depending on different systems.)

* Note that female dancers only wear tutus when they perform. Most of the time they wear leotards and tights, sometimes with wrap skirts. ;-)
