How to "ballet run"?

Question

We are doing a recital piece where we have to "ballet run" to a line, and i have to run across half the floor. Can you show me a video of some good ballet runs (quick walking, in demi, toes pointed?)? I can't seem to do it prettily.

And can you also show a video of a good leap and give tips? Thanks
