Many things can go wrong with a grand battement. Dancers make it look so easy but if you were to not be strong on your supporting foot, you could easily fall and hurt yourself. this could happen with other steps as well. That is one of the many reasons they use a barre.

What does Grand Battement mean in ballet terms?

Grand battement starts in third or fifth position with the arms depending on the direction of the leg (forwards, backwards or sideways). You swish the leg off the floor to approximately 90 degrees, but it depends on your flexibility. You have to keep your body and both legs very straight, and on he way down control the leg so it does not 'plonk' back down onto the floor. You then close the working leg back in and return to the starting position.

What is a battement degage?

If you know what a degage is, then you know that it is a move where you brush your foot against the floor and then let it come of the floor. Picture it as an airplane on a runway. The air plane takes of by driving on the ground (in this case brushing your foot on the floor) and then the plane lifts off (the foot leaves the floor and goes into the air). This is almost the same thing as a battement degage, except when your leg lifts off the ground in a degage, it normally stays at most a half foot off the ground. In a battement degage, however, the legs is thrown into the air, many feet of the ground. Many well-trained ballerinas can kick their head with their leg in a battement degage. Ballet dancers usually just call a battement degage a battement for short.
