Answer 1

just strech before u split and go down by ya self slowly dont make people push u they could end up hurtin u

Answer 2

just take it slow it took me 7 years to do the splits and i started when i was 5

Answer 3

ok i have been dancing since i was 2 yeas old im 13 now and so whatever you do, do NOT have someone push you down!

1. you will cry! i dont care how tough you are you will cry!

2. you can pull a muscle it hurts like h**l!

so yeah dont do that!

just stretch every day!

and when you sit in the plits stay there as long as you can and then slowly take your hands off the floor and put them on your head that way you will slowly go down.

endure the pain as long as you can!

then slide out of the splits and stratch it BEFORE and AFTER you do the splits.

do not have your friend push you down to the floor, it will damage you in the long run. you could pull something. I have the perfect website for you though..............

it works, trust me. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

having someone push you down is one of the worst things that you can do so dont do it! just strtch before you do your split, it will obviously take time but if you keep trying it will come eventually! and as for fixing your back leg just try to point it as much as you can and try to extend or lenghten the back of your back leg!good luck!

Answer 6

Ok what I found is that if you don't sit on your butt, face front(your face should be facing towards your right leg), it'll straighten your back leg, but you also need to hold it there.

Good Luck! :)

Answer 7

DONT LET NE1 PUSH U DOWN

u will wreck ur muscles

Answer 8

stretch your legs before you attempt. listen to music or think of your boyfriend before you do it..if your mind is high on something else, you should make more endorphines or adrinaline depending on what your are doing, and that naturally blocks alot of pain.

Answer 9

it just takes time.  Do not get a friend to just push you down because you can tear something.  Stretch before you attempt the spits, because even if you are a flexable dancer you can hurt yourself.  I am a dancer in college (like ballet not drill team) and if my teacher saw us just walk into a room and jump down into the splits she would scream at us.  Just take your time and after you stretch for a while hold yourself in the splits for about a min then relax... then do it all over again.  Again it just takes time.
