Oooooh a grand jeté?? 👀👀
#JIMIN #지민 @BTS_twt

In ballet, there are several types of jumps. Probably the most basic is the temps levé, which is a jump from one foot that lands on the same foot while the other leg is raised in the air - typically in arabesque.

It’s really difficult to see Jimin’s full jump here, but instead of keeping his front leg under him, it looks as if he throws it to the front. When you jump off your back leg, throwing your front leg to the front, that’s known as a grand jeté. #JIMIN

There are a couple different ways to do a grand jeté. Probably the most common, and the easiest to achieve a full split in the air, is one where you kick out your front leg from a bent (retiré) position.

The other way to do a grand jeté is with a straight front leg which you brush out in front of you to gain momentum and air time. It looked to me that Jimin’s jeté had more of a straight leg entry, but again - really hard to see from the angle and lighting!

Also, we’ve talked about grand jetés before! But we were talking about a third kind - the grand jeté en tournant! 😁

We would love to see some more grand jetés from #JIMIN in the future! 😍

[Filter Dance Analysis Thread]

Whew. It’s time to talk about Filter, an electrifying solo number that Jimin brings alive through charisma, fancy footwork and a flurry of costume changes. Let’s break it down.
#JIMIN #지민 @BTS_twt

One thing to note right off the bat is how Jimin changes his performance ever so slightly from one night to the other. By emphasizing different moves, switching speeds and changing facial expressions, he’s able to show a different side of himself, or filter, each show. #JIMIN

We can see this even from the very first moves. Notice how his delivery on the first night was sharp and quick, punctuating the notes of the song. On the second night, however, his delivery is slow, deliberate, tantalizing. He’s easing the audience in and teasing what’s to come.

[Black Swan Jimin Solo Dance Analysis]

So. Jimin did THAT. And we HAVE to talk about it. Let’s dive into the incredible solo dancing Jimin displayed in the Black Swan MV and how beautifully he pulled it off.
#JIMIN #BlackSwanMV @BTS_twt

Let’s start this solo dance with #JIMIN flying through the air like the graceful swan he is. I will never get over how high he can jump and how, by kicking back his legs and keeping his upper body calm, he can make it look like he’s suspended in the air while he’s up there.

#JIMIN hits this beat with a jerking motion, as if suspended by puppet strings. Then he raises his arms, creating a moment of stillness and suspension before sweeping into a beautifully controlled fan kick. Winding up the leg gives him the momentum needed going into the kick.

Body waves vs body rolls: Did you know there was a difference? Did you know Jimin likes to torture us with both? And he’s really good at it? 😓

Warning: This thread is not for the faint of heart.

@BTS_twt

Though their names are often used interchangeably (even by us 😅), body waves are quite different from body rolls. Both are techniques used in the Boogaloo street style and each are complex enough to be a specialized style on their own. #JIMIN @BTS_twt

Waving is a technique that involves creating the illusion of a wave passing through your body. Body waves start as high as the head and travel through the chest, abdomen and finally hips.
