Best Answer

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.
