In French Ballet, "grand battement" translates to "big beat." It refers to a movement where the dancer lifts their leg high into the air from the hip, extending it fully, and then brings it back down with control. This exercise is often used to develop strength, flexibility, and control in the legs and is typically performed at the barre or in the center of the studio. Grand battement is essential for various ballet movements and performances.
