It does not have a specific "technical" name. I was just a really cool jump created by the choreographer. You could call it a jump with "attitude legs" if you wanted to be really specific. I think it is a very cool jump that would gain you a lot of points in "creativity and skills" at a dance competition. But before you try it, you better have had A LOT of experience with partner dancing! I would caterigize this dance as modern/contempoary. :)

Its just really a lift with attitude legs, it isn't a technical "jump."

And I'd say that's definitely a contemporary lyrical dance.

It's just a cool-looking jump I think. A lot of contemporary moves don't have technical names. I don't think there is a specific name for it but I like it. I loved Lacey and Kameron. :)))
