77. Saut de basque

The arms move the following way: at the beginning right arm is bent in 1st position, left one—in 2nd; during the transfer of the body to right leg, right arm goes into 2nd position simultaneously with left leg, left arm moves with a strong thrust below through 1st position, which gives strength to the jump. At the instant of the jump, left arm is bent in 1st position, right one extended into 2nd. At the return to left leg, the arms also return to the initial position.

The arms may also be thrust upward into 3rd position; in this case they are thrust to the side from the initial position half-way up, through the preparatory and 1st positions, and are lifted all the way up during the jump, so as to give oneself a good lift.

In this manner, as the jump is repeated several times, the arms do not return to the initial position but are extended to the side, and from there, through the preparatory position, they are swung for the succeeding jump.23
