Pouncing Pas de Chat - Catlike Leaping in Ballet Technique - Petit Allegro & Overcurves

Pas de Chat has a catlike leaping effect, jumping off from one foot and landing on the other, also like a cat-and-mouse game between the two feet. As with all jumps, it begins with Plié (low level) and rolls through the feet on take-off and landing. Pas de Chat travels sideways, and can be practiced in parallel before moving on to turned-out or externally-rotated position. Leading with the leg facing the direction of travel, which is typically in back in 3rd or 5th position when turned out, the foot pushes off to Passé / lift the thigh to Retiré, then springing with the following foot to create a brief diamond shape in the air, landing on other foot in Retiré and then closing to Plié on both feet again.
