Help with my dance leap?

Question

i been doing dance fovever. I am very flexible. i have all my splits. but my leap in dance is never straight!? help?

Answer 1

Don't concentrate on leaping FORWARD think about leaping UP. Concentrate more on your height rather than how far your going. When your in the air really try and pull your legs apart and hit your splits.

Also make sure to develop your front leg and really concentrate on straightening the back one.

Answer 2

if you keep practicing it will soon be perfect :D

Answer 3

Try try again!

Answer 4

Well, just remember these tips:

   1. Keep your chin up

    2. Lift up your toes when you leap and imagine that your legs are weightless and just let them go up with the wind(what I mean by that is- if you can do a split on the ground, do one in mid-air). I hope I helped!!!!

Answer 5

If your splits are perfect but your legs don't hit 180º in your split jumps, it is because you don't have the strength in your legs. Work on strengthening your thighs and also your core muscles (abs).

Answer 6

practice?

Answer 7

Put a long piece of tape on the ground (in a straight line) and practice, practice, practice.  It's just training yourself to do it right, even if it feels weird initially.

Good luck!!  :)

Answer 8

Practice Makes Perfect

Answer 9

first work on keeping knees as tight as

possible and feet stretched and pointed

as far as cannnn be, then when going into

a leap, remember to keep your chest lifted

and make sure your back isnt rounded, i

always had trouble with that. what i do to

make sure im going more up then forward

is, i try to find a spot, thats is partially high

and i try and keep my head in line with it

during the highest point of my leap, also

the placement of your arms can help you too,

i hope this helps :)
