CreativeDancer Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Quick question: what is the real name for Russian ronde de jambes? Thanks. Quote Link to post
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted April 20, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sorry, CreativeDancer, but I have never heard of “Russian” rond de jambe. Can you describe it, please? Quote Link to post
vrsfanatic Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I too do not know what that is!! Quote Link to post
Solnishka79 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Rond de jambe par terre? No different term as far as I’m aware... Quote Link to post
Redbookish Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 A quick Googe gives me that sometimes a double rond de jambe is called a 'Russian rond de jambe'. But I've never heard the term 'Russian rond de jambe' in either Cecchetti or RAD terminology. Quote Link to post
vrsfanatic Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thank you Redbook. I wonder how it is done?? No such term in Vaganova. Quote Link to post
Redbookish Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Is it OK to post a link to a YouTube video? Here's the mention of Russian rond de jambe that Google picked up for me - looks like an ordinary double rond de jambe en l'air to me - although done beautifully, and at a height of extension that I've only ever achieved a handful of times! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUwUWcKAttA Another beautiful film of a Vaganova examination, in a studio that I'm sure will be familiar to you, VRS! To me, a lowly perpetual adult beginner learner, it is a venerable extraordinary place, and these dancers are super-heroes! Quote Link to post
AncientDancer Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 The Russian teachers I study with do a half ronde de jambe par terre with a full one. Sometimes the half is at double time speed - essentially two in one count. Is that what you might mean? Quote Link to post
Redbookish Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I'm familiar with that referred to simply as a double rond de jambe a terre. i've been taught it as two full ronds de jambe a terre in the same count as one usually after 2 or 3 slower ronds. Quote Link to post
Doubleturn Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Or could the term Russian rond de jambe be referring to rond de jambe jeté? Quote Link to post
Redbookish Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Google also suggested it’s a term used instead of gargoulliard. Quote Link to post
Miss Persistent Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I’ve never heard of a Russian RDJ either! Waiting with baited breath for a description Quote Link to post
CreativeDancer Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Wow. Thank you for so many replies. I think my email settings forgot to tell me. I am thinking of 1. dégagé devant --> small attitude --> 2. bring to 90 + degrees a la seconde --> 3. bring to tendu derrière position. Or start derrière and finish devant. Thank you.

Doubleturn Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Vaganova Academy exam Jeté it is then! At approx. 4.40. Quote Link to post
vrsfanatic Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) CreativeDancer in Vaganova schooling the movement you have described is called grand ronde jeté en de hors. It is also done en dedans. Edited April 24, 2018 by vrsfanatic Misread the description. Had to correct my mistake Quote Link to post
