大向前抛跳
意为「向前的大 jeté（大抛跳）」。这是向前的大跨步跳跃，之前通常有一个预备动作，如 pas couru（跑步）或 glissade，为跳跃提供必要的蹬地推力。跳跃落在向前抛出的那条腿上——如 grand battement 那样抛腿至 90 度；跳跃的高度取决于推地的力量，跳跃的远度则取决于另一条腿（被用力甩向上后方的那条腿）的有力蹬地。舞者尽力在空中保持明确的 attitude 或 arabesque 舞姿，并以这一同样的姿态落地。重要的是：以有弹性的 plié 起跳，以柔和而受控的 plié 落地。
Large jeté forward. A big leap forward preceded by a preliminary movement such as a pas couru or a glissade, which gives the necessary push-off. The jump is done on the foot which is thrown forward as in grand battement at 90 degrees, the height of the jump depending on the strength of the thrust and the length of the jump depending on the strong push-off of the other leg which is thrust up and back. The dancer tries to remain in the air in a definitely expressed attitude or arabesque and descends to the ground in the same pose. It is important to start the jump with a springy plié and finish it with a soft and controlled plié.
