What is "grand battement"?
Grand battement is a ballet movement where the dancer lifts one leg high into the air and then lowers it back down with control. To perform a grand battement, the dancer begins in a standing position, raises one leg from the hip to a high position, either to the front, side, or back, and then returns it to the floor. The movement is typically executed with a strong, controlled action, emphasizing both the height of the leg lift and the smoothness of the return. Grand battement helps to develop strength, flexibility, and coordination in the legs and is commonly used in various ballet exercises and routines.
