Mariangela Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Hi everyone I fell in love with a jump that Kitri does in the first act of Don Quixote, but I don't know how it's called... can someone tell me the name please? The jump to which I refer is at the minute 2:39 of the video that I link you. I hope in a your answer, thank you as always! Link to post

mille-feuille Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I believe temps de flèche can be done to the front or to the back. See this video: Also this blog (http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/2014/04/terrific-tuesday-temps-de-fleche.html) ”Temps de fleche is not a common step, but it is often found in several famous classical ballets such as Corsaire and Paquita. It is essentially a jump from one foot to another, often with an extended kick when it is performed to the front; or with both legs in attitude when it is done to the back.” Edited January 22 by mille-feuille Link to post
Mariangela Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Thank you very much! I didn't know this jump at all, I'm very glad you made me discover it Link to post
On Pointe Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 In Broadway or jazz dance, that step is closest to a "hitch kick", although my ballet teacher called it "jeté passé". Link to post
sandik Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Temps de fleche is a form of a leap, that is, a air moment that takes off one leg and lands on the other. Link to post
