I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing content you post! Recently I started dancing, and if it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t be in the higher classes or dancing like I am. You’re amazing!
Alexis Miller same here! It’s so frustrating and feels like no matter how hard i try to channel energy through the keg to make it straight, it doesn’t work! X
@@LaurasLabyrinth I'm interested in the split leap, too, but could you break down the take-off/landing a little more? I know it's in a plie, but how do you control the plie when landing?
I want to thank you so much Ms. Auti. My family can’t put me in classes so I started to watch your channel and I have learned so much. I am starting to learn pirouettes and (trying but failing) my al secondes. I first watched this video when it was posted and I practiced today and I did my front leap without mistakes and I cried tears of joy. Thank you for everything you do you make such an impact ❤️💕🙏🏻
I'm sure the people in my gym are trying to figure out what the heck is going on, but I love this video! It helped so much! I'm learning modern dance and contemporary at home and I appreciate all of this!
Squeeze your legs and make sure you’re turned out (it might not get to a full split because of you being turned out) I don’t know a lot because I’m kind of a beginner but my dance coach tell me that so
Is your split completely with toes pointing up or turning in to the floor? Splits are harder when your hips are turned out and toes pointing up if the foot is flexed or or pointing out with the inside of your arch facing out(and up) if the foot is pointed. Remember ability means nothing without proper technique just because you can do the splits doesn’t mean that it looks pretty or that you can use that ability for another move. However it does mean your on the right track and now your able to move forward. What will also help is laying on your stomach and stretching your hips and inner thigh muscles by bending your knees to look like a frog. Keep your hips and feet on the floor as you bend your knees. Don’t allow anyone to help you because forcing this is not ok but it’s a great stretch and the more you do it you will see progress over time and it will help with your turnout and middle splits.
This video really helped me so much. I had to do a barrel calapso for company and they didnt tell me it was supposed to be the back leg into an additude. Now i know.
thank you for all your help! I really want to take dance lessons only my parents won't let me! Your videos are the most I get learn of dance! Thank you from the bottom of my heart
I got really really flexible because of your videos auti I was never so happy when i new i got flexible and now i am the best dancer in my class thanks to you auti lots of love from a small youtuber in india ❤️❤️
Since I’ve been seeing this question in the comments a lot, my jazz teacher taught me that if you want to sit in your leaps more, the key is air time. Use your plié to push your self as high as possible so you have time to hit the full position and stay in it longer
Thanks you all of you! ❤️ Excellent explanation! Can't wait to start rehearsing. Still gotta give my sore muscles an only-stretching-day after this summer dance week, which was awesome btw!! 😍 Heat & Beat 2019 by DasTanzforum
I’m a ex artistic gymnast and currently a power tumbler and trampolinest. I’ve also done two years of contortion (also they made us do a mandatory ballet class for gymnastics.) anyway I’m gonna start doing ballet soon and I’m used to gymnastics leaps. this is gonna be hard to change wish me luck haha 😆
Thanks for everything Auti!! You really helped me prepare for dance class ❤️❤️ you have such helpful videos and it’s easy to follow along to! Your dance posture video transformed my dancing. Best wishes xoxo 😘
my center leaps are terrible, my mom just tells me i look pathetic because everyone else is better than me. i look pitiful for a 13 year old barely getting off the floor. i just don’t know how to get enough power to get higher and lift my legs higher. i keep doing them over and over again and they look the same even when i try to improve. i just can’t
hey this is really late so you might already have them but some tips that helped me are: -make sure you really sit your butt down in the leap -work on the leap in place at a bar and sit your butt down and kick your legs out -make sure both of your feet are turned out that way you’ll be able to get higher -just keep practicing and working on strength to kick your legs up higher you got this!! 💗💗
I’m actually very interested in dancing but my parents don’t think I have what it takes but I got a project with making the thingy for the egg so you can drop it without it breaking and I thought what about calypso jumps you turn so when you land In a tuck you don’t hurt yourself or break if you where an egg so let’s hope this gets me an A tysm
I dunno if anyone knows this, but there’s a contemporary style move where you like run up and tuck up one leg and the other kicks out straight to the side then you roll out of it? Sorry my explaining is bad
Might be a silly question from someone who has never taken a ballet class but when the girl doing the calypso leap does the high and low chaine turns, it looks like she is in 5th/3rd position. What's the best position for this jump?
I have the flexibility to do a front leap, but it never turns out to look like a split in the air! My dance teacher gets so upset/mad. Do you have any tips or anything that can help? Love your vids!!
I'm no expert by any means, but it sounds like you have flexibility without the strength to get it there without pushing up against something, like doing a split on the floor. My best tip would be to find a doorway in your house and do a vertical split in the doorway. Push yourself into a split so that one leg is on the ground and the other is in the air. Once you have that down, try to lean your top leg away from the door frame. Your goal is to be fully in the split without touching the frame with either leg, but you can start by just holding one leg away from it. This should build strength along with your flexibility if you do it often. I hope this helps
i got my leaps to look like full splits in the air by REALLY stretching my over split and then working out my legs to get the power to propel me into the air. it made my splits even more natural to go into and the extra power really propelled them to be much straighter, easier!!
I know this is real late, but it could be because of your oversplits. Oversplits can really hurt you; they weaken your ligaments so that your knees get weaker and it's harder to do things like land jumps.
Hello, Do you know what can help me learn choreo better/faster? I'm planning to make it to Dance 2 in Highschool Dance. My teacher says my technique's a bit better, but that I'm not quite ready to level up. I only have 5 days left including the day of the class final. May you please answer asap? =)
Need tips on how to you get your legs to go higher in the jump. My daughter can do the splits perfectly on both sides and in the middle but she cannot get her legs very far off the ground in center leaps, firebirds, etc. I don’t know what else to tell her.
hello miss auti, I’m trying to learn a calypso for a dance scholarship, although I have the high chaine and the low chaine, but I don’t understand how I go from the low chaine to the leap, and do you have any tips on how to make the leap itself better? Thank you ❤ your videos are amazing 😊
DarkAngel I didn’t realize you had to be flat footed on the second chaine and the high/low chaine was just generally confusing me, but I wanted to do the leap anyway so I went for it and came down on my foot with all my weight and it broke 😂😂
