大猫跳
意为“大幅的猫步”（large cat's-step）。此步因动作形似猫的跳跃而得名。在 Cecchetti 教学法中，pas de chat 自第五位做至第五位，斜向前方行进。第五位，右脚在后。右脚脚尖收至 retiré（位于左膝旁），同时左腿 demi-plié；随即向上、向侧斜向跃起，落在右脚上，同时左脚脚尖带至右膝旁。落地几乎同时进行：先是右脚以 demi-plié 落地，随后左脚收闭至第五位前、屈膝落地。若做 petit（小）pas de chat，跳跃较小，腾空的脚抬至 sur le cou-de-pied 而非 en retiré。参见 Saut de chat。
Large cat’s-step. The step owes its name to the likeness of the movement to a cat’s leap. In the Cecchetti method pas de chat is done from fifth to fifth and travels obliquely forward. Fifth position R foot back. Raise the R toe in retiré to the side of the L knee and demi-plié on the L leg; spring upward and to the side on the R foot in a diagonal direction, bringing the L toe to the side of the R knee. The landing is made almost simultaneously; first the R foot lands in demi-plié, followed by the L foot, which closes in the fifth position front, bending the knee. If the pas de chat is petit, the jump is smaller and the free foot is raised sur le cou-de- pied instead of en retiré. See Saut de chat.
