 Five Classes of Jump    

From           To   

  2                2       Saut  Typically known as a jump. A jump off both feet, landing with the feet in the                               same position.    

  2                1       Sissonne- A jump from off both feet but landing on one foot.  

  1               2       Assemble (with an accent over the last "e")- Your one foot slides along the floor                                  before you jump. As you jump into the air, you push off the floor with the                                            supporting leg, extending your toes. Both legs then come to the floor together in                                  the 5th position.   

 1                1       Jete (with an accent over the last "e"): Typically known as a leap. You leap from                                   one leg to another and your one leg can be placed to the side, front, or back of the                                 dancer.  

    

 1                1       Tempsleve: Typically known as a hop. You hop on your one leg with your other                                   foot in any leveled position. As you hop and leave the group you must have your                                 toes pointed.
