jete
Airborne ballet move
A jete is a ballet leap in which a dancer springs from one foot and lands on the other, with one leg extended.
The grand jeté is the dramatic split-leap seen in classical ballet, where the dancer appears to hang in the air: She executed a flawless grand jeté across the stage.
