- Romany Pajdak, Royal Ballet First Artist, demonstrates grand battement.
Batterie/Battement: Movements in which the legs and feet 'beat' together quickly, usually as part of a jump. The may be performed as part of a jetés, entrechats trois, quatre, cinq, changements, grand jeté, etc. The difference between grande batterie and petite batterie [ lit. 'big' and 'small' batterie] depends upon the amount of elevation the dancer needs to jump to perform the 'beating'.
i) Petits battements / battements tendus: extensions of the leg in which the working foot does not leave the ground, used to practise stretching the foot to a fully pointed position
ii) Grands battements: high extensions of the whole leg, which is raised into the air and brought down again while keeping the rest of the body still.

Doing it in a swimming pool helps me do it better. The resistance improves your muscle strength.
Oh, I used to do that too!
thats actually big brain
Same!
That's exactly what I did a lot on holiday this month 😭 The water gives enough support for you to hold your leg up even if you don't have enough strength for it normally
I love watching her. I have studied the one where she does the various positions - I really like her precision.
Busqué que era *grand battement* por el libro "La bailarina de Auswitch" esa Edith Eger es toda una loquiiiillaaaaa esto se ve súper preciso y fuerte

Sempre muito legal rever movimentos executados na barra! Logo adquirir, força, leveza e equilíbrios para faze-los no centro...
Damn. I know this is your job and profession but everytjing about thisbwas so smooth!!!!! 😮😃😃😃😃😃 its really cool to watch! I havent been around Ballet in terms of well....terms in overba decade so thank you gor creating this really comprehensive dictionary of what the moves are called! Im still just so impressed by how smooth your movements are!
Its abanera carmen the song
wow i find it really hard to keep my leg straight when i do them !! wow well done :)
Holy shit, I haven't knows that ballet has sooo many different kinds of movements.
Her leg in the arabesque is bent other than that it looks good :)
hey everyone,
has someone got any tips to hold your leg in the air, at more than 90 degree angle?
thank u
it's not balance, it's flexibility. the more flexible you get, the longer you will be able to hold it at more than 90 degrees. (ps ik you wrote your comment 8 years ago and i hope you got it!)
Flexibility is involved, but unless you feel a stretch at 90°, it is more often than not an issue of strength. People can stretch or kick far higher than they can hold unless they're already strong enough to reach full range of motion.
To reach higher than 90° one usually needs to work on psoas (front/side), hamstring and glutes (back) strength. A lot of people tend to use their quads to lift their leg, but as strong as this muscle is, it is not the best to lift above hip level. Excessive use of quads also leads to bulking which many dancers, especially in classical ballet, try to avoid.
Making sure you're engaging your core and other stabilizing muscles properly can also help. When you're not engaging these muscles, the muscles you're using to lift your legs will work to stabilize you instead, which decreases yoyr range of motion.
@@meganepelletier853 Do you have any tips on how to get used to involving the hamstrings? I'm around maybe 100 degress in grand battements (if I have a good day) and around 80 in developpé, and I'm trying to practice them with ankle weights, but don'T know which weights are the best. You also mentioned, that it can lead to bulking. I don't really know what you mean by that, but I feel like my thighs are really wide from the side, especially the line at the front is really bent from the side. Maybe you cn imagine what I mean. Is this the bulking you mean?
love the music.
Habanera- Carmen
It's a lot easier than some things!
hi! What is that music on video?
thank u MsDjmona,
Are développés also good to add to my splits training?thanks
actually... when she does the battement to the side, her leg is not completely stretched!! the knee is a little bit bent! i see it and i am not an expert
Pecut100 her leg is fully stretched, That's just the shape of her leg!
whats the name of the music i looovvee??
Same I wanna know too?
just wondering: is there any particular reason that she looks away from her working leg (the one doing the "kicking")? i'm just wondering.
Wow it’s been 10 yrs and no one answered. I’ll answer.
Basically, there’s different types of epaulement. Epaulement is the placement of the head. There’s looking outside, then there’s looking inside.
In the video looking away from her working leg is looking inside
awesome
the habanera from carmen by bizet
Doing this without the barre is much more difficult. I look like a Kung Fu Fighter!
Very good!
Perfeito
great job!!!
Uh, wow? We definitely didn't do that fancy of battements in Jazz!
how the fuck does she do it with amazing technique like no corrections, seriously
I like your Batman !
There are at least 80 different steps, and they're all in French!
woooooooooooooooooooooooow.........
But it is easier than some things.
She looks a little bit like Mila Kunis!
2nd arabesque your head must be aside.
Who’s here after reading (how to talk to anyone) ?😂
Why didn't they choose better dancers to do these?
+anfalas I bet you can't do it better than her
Tania V That's not at all the point :D I'm trying to learn, and even I can see little mistakes here and there. But these are professionals, and of course sometimes I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that, you know?
turtle you’re dumb if you think professionals can’t make mistakes or that its wrong to make them.
上手だけど
ユーチューブにあげるレベルじゃない
I hated these
HORRIBLE...
We do this at class every week its my fav
