What is "changement de pied"?
Changement de pied is a ballet jump where the dancer springs into the air from a position with the feet crossed and switches the position of the feet before landing. The term "changement de pied" means "change of feet" in French. During the jump, the dancer pushes off from both feet and, while in the air, quickly changes the position of the feet so that the opposite foot is in front when they land. This movement is repeated in quick succession to create a lively and rhythmic effect, often seen in the fast sections of ballet.
