You should also try to have a perfect needle. To do this you must keep your legs together and put your hands on the ground in front of your feet. Now kick one of your legs in the air and try to have a perfect spit like that. this is like doing a split on an invisible wall. when you have this it will be easier for you to have your perfect spit leap because you can control the movement of your split in the air. I tried my best so stretch everyday=) you can turn better by have a larger plie again. think of the turn as a pulled up relevae. Use your hands to help you. On your prep make sure your balance is on the middle. look at your self in the mirror and make sure your foot is on full demi point Report It * You must be logged into Answers to add comments.
