Waltz Jumps?

Question

hi,can anybody give me tips on waltz jumps i can't seem to position my arms right or get enough height ^_^

Answer 1

my advice for getting lots of height is to bend your knees, and to get lots of speed going into the jump

Answer 2

The best tip I have for waltz jumps (which I think are a lot of fun!) is to kick your leg through straight to get more height.  At the top of your jump, you should split.  Be sure to scoop with your arms, like you're scooping up a bunch of flowers to bring up to your nose to smell.  If that doesn't help, think of touching your shoulders with the opposite hand.  Think of using your arms like you would while doing the long jump in gym class.  You'll reach behind you just a little before you kick your leg through.  When you kick, your arms are going to follow your leg......they'll scoop and come in front of you, crossing your chest.  At the end, add a big check out with a nice landing position to add the exclamation point to the end of your huge waltz jump!  :)

Answer 3

ok, for your arm position have them both back a little behind you, then as you jump forward thrust them out in front of you together, making somewhat of a basketball hoop type shape, then when you land have your left arm in front and your right arm in back.

The arms should help a bit for getting more height, but don't worry, in time the height will come.

good luck

Answer 4

1. swing your arms and leg back

2. then kick ur legs up and pull in your arms

3. land with the prettiest landing!!

Answer 5

When you step forward have your back leg make a good reach behind you in order to get momentum. Your arms will follow your leg back and then come forward as you kick through. When you kick thought make sure you kick forward and up like you're trying to kick a beach ball or something. Make sure you check your landing and hold it so it looks nice.
