How to do a turning second position leap. By: Just For Kix

[heyitsdiamond]

Can you teach tilt jumps

[VeryStrangechild]

I have to do this is my large group dance. Ugh I'm so bad at it.

[randomness0410]

I have to do this for my solo, but i don't do it as good as this girl does lol

[Mrgyrodude]

i can do a straddle jump but i can only do this in a stag pose. :/

[iBEaTACO]

Are these also sometimes referred to as turning discs? I'm trying for a dance team and it's required to be able to preform those, but I don't no what they are.

[TitaniaSilk]

@MonkeyLover987100 Different studios call them different things, smart one.

[MonkeyLover987100]

it's called a second jump smart one

[asiaarocks0941]

Can you make a video saaying how not to be afraid to fall

[MsBilltomkaulitz]

?????? our team is doing this but our dance teacher said these are called "turing disks" im so confused

[rhiannoncandance]

@MsBilltomkaulitz Dance techniques are called different things all over

[MsBilltomkaulitz]

@rhiannoncandance o.o ok thanks

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

i can do this with a jete... not a straddle :O

[Quintinlicious]

do some of these dancers dance for UM dance team?

[cassiealexa]

It's also called a spinning disc or turning disc :) my dance team uses these a lot

[MuchLoveKelly]

I can get the right but just rolling out of it left always gets me confused lol

[xRawrItsJocelynx]

this is also called a Russian.. right?

[imflycuzimJ4Y]

@xRawrItsJocelynx The middle split jump on it's own is a Russian, I've heard these being called turning Russians though

[ssdance]

when does the JFK app get released for purchase?

[orkidluver97]

I can always get my one leg up, but never the second one. I need alot of work on these lmfao,

[toomuchtohadel]

her legs looks strong

[TrulyIsabelAter]

At my studio this jump is called a turning toe touch :)

[2dancingfreaks]

cant this be called a turning disk?

[iDance190]

I LOVE THESE!!!! At my studio we call them turning discs and I finally got them down!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[mosseydoodle]

uh yeah. I have to practice....a lot....

[riscorlyn]

is this a disk jump?? What is a disk??

[dancingirly101]

@riscorlyn yeah this is a disk jump

[carlsullivan1995]

so i tried this right and my right leg got up and then my left leg pretty much didnt then i fell

[2dancingfreaks]

she does this soo gracefully! i would be like smashing my bones on the ground!

[Dancer26811]

is this what you would call a turning russian leap?

[jordynf10]

i believe this is called a rotating disk. they are so hard to do.

[dancerbabyy03]

I don't roll on the floor after I do it. I struggle with that -________-

[sabml0709]

I can't do these unless I roll to the ground afterward.

:/

[DanceDanceBaby100]

Ohhh she does these soooo well!! I uploaded a video of myself working on this jump in class too..I didn't know what to call it, so I called it a Chaine Russian..I guess it's the same thing though!! :)

[dolphinlovr1]

all your dancers are so graceful. Fabulous job

[kyleredcoat30]

I call them circular disks

[slmslick8]

we call them flying saucers

[MissMakeMeUpp]

how can u do it with no turn? thanks

[thatDANCERgirl72]

@MissMakeMeUpp well then w/ out the turn it would pretty much be a toe touch which is not the same as a turning second position leap/

[MissMakeMeUpp]

oh i just wanted the name :P cause i cant find the tut for the leap or stretches anywhere! and i sooo wanna add it to my solo ! :D .x

[haha13151719]

is there a better name for thiss?

lol

:)

[badj101]

it looks easy but the thing is it makes a lot of effort to jump higher while trying turn and kick your legs going to a side jete...

[ilovedancin]

very nice. we call these turning russians. i love how theres a million and 1 names for different things.lol

[memorieskeephimalive]

@ilovedancin yeah turning russians

[SincerelyTragic]

my studio calls those spinning disc leaps

[iLoveNickJonas2121]

[demipoint22]

I'm working these in lyrical jazz right now!

[SYDNEYxoxox4488]

[dancerdri1996]

heyy

[JOBROFREAK1990]

All these girls in these vids are so talented! They're amazing! I wish i could do them! I am working up to that. Right now I am trying to single butterfly.

[Gee0rg]

@JOBROFREAK1990

jeah doing them is good ;D

[Sithitous]

@JOBROFREAK1990 I wish i could do THEM too ;)

[monikawieczorek]

what style of dance do you dance ?

i mean the girl doing the dancing.

[elliissia]

these are all mainly ballet and modern moves so im gessing she dus both of them :)

[SYDNEYxoxox4488]

jazz. lyrical, contemporary. mainly that.

[xxkndrhgn28xx]

this isnt a disc jump stupid this is either a double stagge or a tripple stagge

[barbieXbandXaids]

Everyone does it differently . There should be no right or wrong way .

[lildemon8]

When turning? I don't think so.

Yes, when in a regular stradle/second position leap, both legs go up in the air at the same time but in a turning leap, both legs up at one time is EXTREMELY hard to do.

[iLoV3toDance]

you have just good control! haha when i do these i kinda just flail. :) good job!

[Tad5958]

I can do this. I just can't extend my legs very far.

[Luvs2LuvDance]

wow you are a very good dancer!!!!!!!! oh yeah hehe i can see your mucsles when you are just standing WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XcRoMbIrOx5181X]

easy... so easy !

[gymgymheart]

pause at 46 sec shes in a strddle!

[HelpBreathMe]

ARe dance Team Calles Those Spining Disc there fun

[PinkIce2335]

Anybody please post a video how to do leap?

[marissa8180]

holy crapp!

[BlondeDancer875]

these are hard!

[unm2015]

@BlondeDancer875 If you can do a straddle you can do these. :)

[unm2015]

Sit into it more. It looks like you're just turning with your legs up. Just a friendly tip. :)

[unm2015]

@BlondeDancer875 You'll get it. it's just a straddle jump while turning. :)

[elladorablack]

the turns this girl is doing are "chainne", u can also do "chasse" turns into it. (i think u mean chasse, not shawsays):P

thanx for posting btw, iv been trying to get this jump for ages!

[shaylamarie23]

i wanna get that jump down so badly!!!!! but i think my center splits and all need to be worked on so i don't like.. rip my groin hahahaha.

[753956chocolate]

cool

[ginerz305]

isnt that a russian leap?

[fuzzy2413]

well i dont think so... mayb kinda...when i do russians we do shawsays (idk how 2 spell it??)into a russian, or how sum ppl call it, middle jump, centers...

[AvrilLavigneFan127]

you dont have to do shawsays(?)with a russian, its just mostly common in dancing. if you see the nutcracker, the prince does 4 russians in a row...awesome

[AvrilLavigneFan127]

thats what i thought too, yay im not the only one! XD

[drapperlilangel12]

omg...this is nyce!

[shanirideshorsesss]

very helpful.

[FungusToes]

That's fierce.

[019Elizabeth019]

i have to do this jump in a duet comp piece... i really have to work on my straddle split for this to look good!

[dancerbabe2244]

is that the same thing as a flying saucer?

[DancinXlove12]

i can do that

[ruffinithree]

i can do that! its soooo easy!

[VampiricDancer]

are these almost like barrel turns?

[BillyElliotLover96]

yup

[aBeautifulxxxLie]

thanks for posting! these videos are very helpful for beginning dancers!

[rugbyplayers]

I'm afraid I would have to agree with "most"

[lilazndancer0122]

wow dat was awesome! not even close 2 mine! lol

[knockerissilly]

are dancers just for kix trained? or do you find them elsewhere?

[yourmamahuey99]

Most of the girls though that are on Minnesota dance teams start in Just for Kix
