What is a "calypso leap"?
A calypso leap is a dynamic jump commonly seen in contemporary dance. During this move, the dancer leaps into the air, performing a 180-degree turn. As they spin, one leg is extended straight behind the body, creating a striking visual effect. The jump is characterized by its power and grace, with the extended leg adding an element of elegance and flair to the leap. The calypso leap requires strong technique and coordination to achieve the full rotation and maintain balance during the extended leg position.
