Ty

thank you so much

Thanks 😊

Thx

Thank you!!!

Alexis Miller same here! It’s so frustrating and feels like no matter how hard i try to channel energy through the keg to make it straight, it doesn’t work! X

@@LaurasLabyrinth I'm interested in the split leap, too, but could you break down the take-off/landing a little more? I know it's in a plie, but how do you control the plie when landing?

Focusing on sqeezing the back knee and pointing the back foot really helps maybe youre getting into the leaps with too much power but no control:))

Angelina L. Ok thank youu!

Are you turning your leg out? That was my problem

I have a hard time with those

@ღ Mayaa ღ She meant Russian Switch Tilts

Squeeze your legs and make sure you’re turned out (it might not get to a full split because of you being turned out) I don’t know a lot because I’m kind of a beginner but my dance coach tell me that so

Is your split completely with toes pointing up or turning in to the floor? Splits are harder when your hips are turned out and toes pointing up if the foot is flexed or or pointing out with the inside of your arch facing out(and up) if the foot is pointed. Remember ability means nothing without proper technique just because you can do the splits doesn’t mean that it looks pretty or that you can use that ability for another move. However it does mean your on the right track and now your able to move forward. What will also help is laying on your stomach and stretching your hips and inner thigh muscles by bending your knees to look like a frog. Keep your hips and feet on the floor as you bend your knees. Don’t allow anyone to help you because forcing this is not ok but it’s a great stretch and the more you do it you will see progress over time and it will help with your turnout and middle splits.

make sure your hips are SQUARE in your split!! this is very important

@@shreya9288 i just dont understand what that means

Aubrie this means that your hips are aligned with your shoulders to make an invisible square shape think of it as balancing bricks on top of bricks

Serin Cheun why won't they let you take dance?

DarkAngel maybe they can't afford it, dance is pretty expensive

Splits or leaps?

A flying squirrel is what you mean, I think

I'm no expert by any means, but it sounds like you have flexibility without the strength to get it there without pushing up against something, like doing a split on the floor. My best tip would be to find a doorway in your house and do a vertical split in the doorway. Push yourself into a split so that one leg is on the ground and the other is in the air. Once you have that down, try to lean your top leg away from the door frame. Your goal is to be fully in the split without touching the frame with either leg, but you can start by just holding one leg away from it. This should build strength along with your flexibility if you do it often. I hope this helps

i got my leaps to look like full splits in the air by REALLY stretching my over split and then working out my legs to get the power to propel me into the air. it made my splits even more natural to go into and the extra power really propelled them to be much straighter, easier!!

Sofia R U just need to work on ur over splits and think about when u step into the leap to try and go upwards and try to travel less to the side😁

@@xbxlla028 Ahhhh don't work on your oversplits! They weaken your ligaments... it's not good for you :(

I know this is real late, but it could be because of your oversplits. Oversplits can really hurt you; they weaken your ligaments so that your knees get weaker and it's harder to do things like land jumps.

hey this is really late so you might already have them but some tips that helped me are: -make sure you really sit your butt down in the leap -work on the leap in place at a bar and sit your butt down and kick your legs out -make sure both of your feet are turned out that way you’ll be able to get higher -just keep practicing and working on strength to kick your legs up higher you got this!! 💗💗
