Which statement best describes a Grade 4 grand jeté's line and landing?

• A. The line is rounded with no turnout.
• B. The line is long and straight with a soft landing.
• C. The line is controlled but land on the wrong foot.
• D. The line is short and the landing is on one foot.

Answer: (B)

A grand jeté in Grade 4 should present a long, straight line and a soft, controlled landing. This means the working leg is fully extended with turnout, the body stays tall and aligned, and the leg and toes create a direct, elongated path through the air. Landing softly shows balance and control, absorbing the impact without rushing or collapsing. A rounded line or a short line would indicate insufficient extension or turnout, while a hard or misaligned landing (or landing on the wrong foot) signals a lack of control. The combination of a long, straight line and a quiet, controlled landing is the hallmark of Grade 4 technique for this jump.
