I start in fifth position: left foot directly behind the right foot, with heels touching toes. I have to squeeze my thighs so tightly to hold this strong turnout. I lower slightly in a plie and then jump, switching my feet in the air before I land. Some of them get a little sloppy, but I try to come back to a strong fifth position before starting the next little jump (called a changement). I speed up for the last few.
