So I'm curious on how a jete battu is done.I know how to perform a regular petit jete.If you're in fifth position, left foot in front, you degage your right foot and hop off your left foot and then place it in coupe derriere. And I've been trying to figure out how to beat this.If this could be explained, it would be appreciated!
In jete battu the working leg would be the one that does the initial degage. If you start in 5th position with the left leg in front, the right (working) leg does a degage to the side, then beats behind, and then in front of, the left (supporting) leg. Then when you land, the right leg becomes the supporting leg with the left leg in cou-de-pied derriere.
