"Wow, geez... Well, let's see, huh... Virtually every ballerina who could get a shot with him.

There was Leslie Brown, Gelsey Kirkland, Julie Kent, Heather Watts, Cynthia Harvey, Twyla Tharp, Natalia Makarova, Lisa Rinehart, Alessandra Ferri,Marianna Tcherkassky,Antoinette Sibley among many, many, many, many others.

Every ballerina would have a leg amputated just to be in the same frame with him."

--All The Best, Dane Youssef

Neoclassical ballet is a type of ballet formed by George Balanchine and is "American ballet" (like Vagonava is Russian Ballet).

This type of ballet makes everything bigger and grander so instead of small controlled jumps, for example, in Balachine/neoclassical ballet, there would be huge jumps. Another example is when you finish a pirouette in fourth position, some styles have you end in a small fourth, but in neoclassical ballet, you land in a wide fourth with arms lengthened and "reaching."

A grand jete is a dance step, most commonly used in ballet. There are many ways to approach the step, but the most common is either to start with a chasse (step out with one foot, then "chase" that foot with the other, pushing the first out again) step out with the front foot, then cross over with the other, and use that one to PUSH off the ground. Make sure your legs are straight, and chances are, you won't get into splits while you are up there the first time, although that is the main goal. Also remember, up, not out Don't try to go far out, try to get high in the air, in an attempt to hit the ceiling :)

The other way to approach this is far more "balletish" with more ballet steps involved. This goes like this; tombe, pas de bourree, glissade, grand jete. If you are educated in ballet, you may know these steps, but or else, you can look at the related link.
