"tour jete" Tanımı ve Anlamı

What is a "tour jeté"?

A tour jeté is an advanced ballet jump that combines a leap with a turning motion in the air. During a tour jeté, the dancer begins by taking off from one foot, performs a half-turn while in the air, and then lands on the opposite foot. The front leg is usually extended forward during the takeoff, and as the turn occurs, the other leg kicks up and extends behind, creating a scissor-like motion with the legs. This move requires strength, coordination, and precise timing, resulting in a dramatic and visually impressive movement that showcases the dancer's agility and skill.
