Answer 1

Sit on the floor and with legs in a V shape and stretch out towards each foot as far as possible then widen legs and stretch there and lean forward till you can do the splits. good luck and remember to stretch long and slow for best results

Answer 2

i think the dance is good. just really like... 'and step here, kick that turn flick hand...'

it just needs a little more emotion, but other then that it was very good.

as for the flexiblility, honestly keep stretching. do the stretches you do in class (because you know them better and you will be more familiar with them). stretch every morning and evening. remember not to...

1.

bounce; it tears the muscles!

2.

get frustrated; your body is amazing, give it time!

3.

don't push yourself too hard; sometimes getting one inch closer in one day is worse then one inch in 2 weeks.

Hope this helps, have a nice day!!

=)

Answer 3

start streching

or take gymnastics or ballet

that helps

Answer 4

Ive been dancing since i was 3 and im now 16. i stretch all the time and i still cant do that splits and my kicks are still far too low!

some people just arnt bendy but if you are...keep practicing and you will get there eventually!

If not, you can still be a great dancer without being mega flexible

good luck x
