When Prince jumps and twists his legs in the air

What other visuals has he jumped like this besides the Glam Slam video? That is talent. I can't even do it myself. Has anyone else tried?

Yes, but never with the landing into the splits.

Hell yeah I love that move, he does it in the Partyman video during the first verse of the song, and the Theives in the Temple MV. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. He brought back in the W2A era, he did it at all 3 shows I saw. He also did the crawl on his hands, with his feat dragging behind down the catwalk of the symbol. I was surprised at that one and almost thought he would do the splits to come up!

As far as the jump, it's a Prince version of a ballet jump called an "Entrechat" where you jump and switch the legs. His version is way cooler and I once showed one of my Russian Ballet instructors a video of him doing it 😂

He did it no the W2A tour? That surprises me. I thought his hips were too bad by that point for any of his crazier dance moves.
