A good plie is essential for the power!.

You also need a powerful battment with the front leg!. The stronger, straighter and higher you get the front leg the better they will get!. Pull your forward arm like you are trying to touch your toe so that your chest stays up and forward in the jump!. As you sync the timing of the front leg and front arm with the push of the plie, you will find you have more time in the air to properly place and shape the back leg!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just instead of putting your leg in pose (SP) lower it on your leg by your ankle!. Then plie and push of the ground and do like a small grande jete!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

plie and push into the ground to gain air!.
