This looks like it comes from a gymnastics video!. The floor for gymnastics is softer and offers more bounce!.

Which part are you trying to do, the switch leap!? Or the landing on the floor in the splits!?

Make sure your legs are warmed up, leg swings are a great for this!. The trick to switch leaps to make them clean is to really use your prep time to gain some power!. You really need to suspend in the air to allow yourself enough time and height to switch your front and back legs!. Use one leg to lead the change (usually the front is better)!. And the big thing, is don't think about it, just do it!. If you think you won't have enough time!.

I haven't tried this technique: http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=t67LeuYJI!.!.!.

Landing in the splits, I can't really speak to!. From experience, it is always better to at least land then fall into the splits!. I've never tried!.

How long does it take!? I'm not sure!. It depends on you!. It is just a leap with a flair!. You have to be prepared to take some hard landings!. Use a lot of plie!. I caught on pretty quick!. The first couple won't be perfect!. They will look more like an arabesque when you are finished!. Just keep practicing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you can do your splits its all about the amount of practice and technique you have!. If an experienced dancer did it everyday over I bet they could do that move anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months!. It depends on your body and how you push it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It takes some time!. I personally don't know how to do that particular leap into a split!. But I can do regular leaps into splits!.
If you practice everyday for say 45 minutes, you should be able to do it perfectly in maybe a few months!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It really depends on how comfortable you are in your split!. It would probably take several weeks if you still have trouble getting into your split, but if you're already into an over split, then not long at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It only took me a week or two!. I already knew how to do switch leaps AND the splits, so it wasn't very hard to learn!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

OH MY GOD OW OW OW

It would probably take weeks for me!. :PWww@QuestionHome@Com
