3 weeks and you'll have your splits

all the stretches are on there

and everything you need to do.

basically stretch a lot a lot a lot before you do them!!

Answer 2

i am a dancer and the best strech is to keep going into your splits if you did really pull a mucsle that mucsle just needs its memory back its called mucsle memory if that dosent seem to work ask your coach what to do , they might be able to give you better ideas

Answer 3

ok so a very similar situation happened to me a 2 months b4 a had dance team tryouts and we had to the splits at the tryouts so the first month i wasnt supose to stretch it that much but the second month all i did was stretch it seemed like. here are so quick and easy stretches to help you get them quickly

1.the odvious thing would be to sit in the splits, but DO NOT bounce if you bounce while sitting in any stretch you could tear a muscle.

2. lay flat on the floor on your back, straiten your left foot while pulling you right foot towards you in a kick position. or reverse it for you left.

3.do lunges. go in the splits position then pull your front foot in so that your back leg is straight and your front leg is bent. make sure you keep your hips squared off

4. stand straight up with your feet about 1 foot apart then bend over touching your right foot and hold it. then reverse for your left

5.sit in a stradle on the floor. lean over to the right trying to make nose touch your right knee. then repeat to the left.
