Answer 1

its called a tour jete (sorry i'm not positive of spelling) and it looks good, except you might want to straighten your legs a bit and keep your back up

Answer 2

wow It doesn't look like Ur a beginner. make sure to point your feet and present your arms, make sure ur legs are straight and it will look perfect=]

Answer 3

this is really good for your first year and a half!!you obviously have a natural gift i would just say your toes a bit more and perform it fome more and it's excellent! 8 1/2 / 10 you can always improve even if your the best!!

Answer 4

good jump...but:  http://it.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...

Answer 5

It actually looks very good! And considering the time you have been dancing, it is excellent! I don't know if your legs are supposed to be bent or straight though... it appears they are supposed to be straight. If so, work on that. Also, try pointing your feet more. You got really high in that jump, which is great! I would rate it 8/10.

Answer 6

i know ou are only a begginer, but YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR FORM!!!!!!

what i saw was not a "tour jete" but a "running jump where you spun, and did an atitude in the air."

heres what you need to work in:

1:straight legs. make sure you are not bending either one

2: arms. have your teacher go over the arms to a "tour jete"

3: try different ways to go into your "tour jete". like pique arabesque.

good luck

Answer 7

it is good ....you just need more practice...you must practice every day ...then you can do that skill much better....i really liked how you did it.

Answer 8

That's pretty good.  Your form is nice, but has room for improvement.  Keep practicing and you'll perfect it.  Keep up the good work!

Answer 9

looks like either ballet or modern

GOOD! =]

Answer 10

Its good but you need to perform it much more and try to point your toes more. Hope this helped keep dancing!!!

And remember to work on your general teqnique and don't just focus on fancy jumps and turns

Answer 11

It's called a tour jete.

Try straightening your legs and pointing your toes and keeping your back up a little more.

Also if you want to dance you really should get professional training.

But you seem to be doing pretty good :)
