Question: Weird dance stretch issue!?
Hi if you look at some of my other questions you probably know that I am in 2 dance classes (jazz and hip-hop)!. While we were working on splits idk what happened but suddenly on the higher part of my inner thigh started not necessarily hurting it was just extremely uncomfortable!. It felt like my skin was being pulled apart by a lot, and I didn't feel any stretch in my muscles at all on that side, just the pull!. When we did it in hip-hop 2 days later the same thing happened!. Is there something wrong or am I just not doing it right!? Can I still work on my splits (I'm only a few inches off the ground! lol)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm pretty sure I got what you discribing!. I get it in my arch and it feels like the skin is splitting!. I asked my dance teacher about it and she said to just work thru it and that works!. I would just keep stretching unless someone tells you not to!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeah you are probably fine to work on the splits!. i would suggest soaking in a HOT bath first, to loosen up your muscles!. make sure to do a warmup and other stretches!. don't go right into the splits!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
