omshanti Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 When did men start to do coupe jete en tournant with 180 degrees splits and who was the first person doing it?
Paul Parish Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Aurora does coupe jetes, too.... it's not just a guy thing. But it's a good question, when did they start. SIzova did them with splits in the old Kirov Sleeping Beauty, that would have been 1970-something.
Mel Johnson Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Some guys were doing them in the Royal Ballet in the 60s. So, nothing that new.
omshanti Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Are there any dancers who do it without the split now? Has the split become the standard for coupe jete?
