Sudden leap; a jump from two feet to two feet with the
legs held tightly together - the movement can be done with the body held
straight or with the upper torso bent backwards (de poisson).
["sudden leap"]. A jump from both feet to both feet. Beginning in 5th croisé,
the feet push off the floor so that the body flies forward with feet pointed and
legs together. Before the jump, the body inclines forward, and then during the
jump bends forcefully back, so that the legs remain at the back. The movement
ends in 5th croisé. The arms are free and depend only on the design of what is
being sought after; when studying, they usually begin in preparatory, come up to
first during the jump, and end in preparatory again.
