Jeté
a basic jumping step of classical dance in which the dancer’s weight is transferred from one foot to the other. Performed with small (petit jeté) or large (grand jeté) steps, it is executed either in place or with movement forward, to the side, and rarely backward. While executing a grand jeté, the dancer assumes one of the poses of classical dance and holds it until the completion of the jump. Jetés may be performed with a turning movement or with movement along the diagonal or in a circle. REFERENCEVaganova, A. la. Osnovy klassicheskogo tantsa, 4th ed.

She also has a far stronger technique than Kaye ever had, so that her interpretation rests on the most solid foundation: When she suddenly flashes across the stage in a stunning jeté, it’s a surprise as well as a thrill. The goons are threatening, then comic, and there’s a charming sequence when first Sylvia, then the thugs, dart across a big rock pile and jeté off into waiting arms—it’s the one genuinely witty (as opposed to jokey) moment in the ballet. |
