Next are the leaps and jumps.
basic split leap or the Grande Jete - this is just how it sounds. A basic split leap. These are very common and Its just like doing splits in the air. This picture shows a girl doing a regular leap. Keep your toes pointed, your head up and your legs flat and thats all there is too it.
leap in second (center leap) - A leap in second, or more commonly known as the center leap is a leap that turns to the side for the jump having your legs out to both sides of you instead of one in front and one in back like the grande jete. This leap is like a toe touch but has a running start to it.
turning disc - a turning disc is almost the same as a calypso but it instead starts with a shenae turn instead of a run like a calypso would. To do a turning disc you have to keep your first leg straight and your back leg bent at a 90 degree angle. Most people curve their back too during this turn. Like shown in this picture.
