Redbookish Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 1 hour ago, CreativeDancer said: 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. I've always been taught that as a ronde de jambe jeté. Quote Link to comment
Temps de cuisse Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I sometimes call it rond de cuisse but I agree that grand rond de jambe jete’ Is correct. Quote Link to comment
Doubleturn Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have heard the term rond de cuisse used, but generally I have known it as grand rond de jambe jeté. Quote Link to comment

TYR Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 All my teachers (Balanchine style) call that a grand rond (and want them in every class). Quote Link to comment
NoTwoSnowflakes Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 When I play for class (Russian/Vaganova method ballet academy), that throw from attitude is called Grand Rond de Jambe Jeté (en dehors or en dedans). I was not aware it was specifically "Russian", but maybe that's how it's referred to outside of Russian style method. Edited to add: Yes, that video of the 5th year Vaganova exam has what the teachers I play for call a grand rond de jambe jeté in the exercise starting at 4m16s. It could also be called a "grand rond jeté." Quote Link to comment
