Ballet | Step-by-step | Entrechat-six

An interweaving or braiding movement in which a dancer jumps and beats his legs rapidly as they cross.

Here James Hay of The Royal Ballet completes an entrechat-six, a jump with three beats of the feet in mid-air. The current world record, for a jump with six beats, is held by Wayne Sleep, who performed an entrechat-douze on British television in 1973.
