How can I improve in my jumps?

Question

I need some tips on how I can improve on some of my jumps, right now I am working on my Jeté, Attitude Leap, and Firebird. It doesn't matter what kind of advice whether it is how to achieve height or great flexibility, anything will do. And if there are any other jumps you have tips on or any other advice please say so.

Answer 2

Answer 4

what i would do is play basketball and after a while you should jump higher and even if you cant play basketball good its all right as long as you jump while playing

Answer 5

in order to get higher work on your plie'. That is the only thing that will get you up off the ground. If you want to work on your flexibility on the leaps try splits or oversplits every day.

Answer 6

Hang out with ethnic people.  White people can't jump

Answer 7

i play volley ball and our coach has us do these things called frogs to increase our jump height. u get down on all fours with feet bend like a frog then jump as high as you can and pull your knees up to your chest.... do sets of 30 hope this helps

Answer 8

do loads of extra barre work - lots of grand battement for flexibility and keeping hips straight and lots of developpe and holding it for leg strencth.

also if your going to use battement in assembles or scison (sp) do lots of preparation for battement excersises like petit battement and ceres (sp)

all of these will help your muscles for either height, speed or flexibility but you need to do alot of it.
