The Turning C Jump performed by the dancers of Just For kix

[heeyitselise]

I think she could throw her head back more. Other than that, perfect.

[babybubblesluv101]

i wish iwas good at this ''/ ahhhh

[pantherettedancer505]

i thought these were called barrel rolls.....

[MakeupTeen94]

@pantherettedancer505 barrel jumps are different. they're not so bent in the back. there more of a cressent shape and the legs arent bent theyre justt curved

[AshleyNicole101694]

@pantherettedancer505 There's so many different slang terms for dance moves it's crazy!

[pantherettedancer505]

@pantherettedancer505 oh wait (lol replying to myself)......ment barrel turns....

[XpLoSiOnZ1000]

0_o

[vhsdancer2012]

Amazing... Our dance team does em and we look like flying disks!! :D

[DanseurJamais]

I call it a barrel.

This girl is not very good at it. It doesn't look how its supposed to.

I'm only twelve and I can do it more controlled than she does.

[mndtdancer8]

@DanseurJamais This is a turning C jump, barrel rolls are different. And she is very good at executing them.

[dancingwolfguard]

@DanseurJamais this isnt a barrel roll smarty pants, as a dancer you should know this

[Perfectxproductions]

i need it broken down more :)

[TheTaytayJJ]

@Ballerina4927 its cool you don't have to know how to spell to dance well ;)

[TheTaytayJJ]

@Ballerina4927 haha barrel jump :)

[TheTaytayJJ]

my studio calls these huntresses and my team calls them butterfly jumps. so many names! haha

[FeTaJaPell67]

Oh my gosh thank you so much! I needed to learn these for dance team tryouts, so you are my hero! :)

[glitterbear27]

omg i love doing these!

[Defyinghumanity]

we call these toyotas

[ktdancelove]

i can do these okay, but i can never land, i always fall over :(

[rileyriley12]

I can do this, but my C Jump is horrible. I don't know why.. I think I just need more strength.

[cutiepaige101]

@rileyriley12 Same here!!

[haleydancer11]

These are my favorite jumps to do (:

[2dancingfreaks]

arent you scared that u r gonna fall? cuz when i try these i sure am!

[Cyrus150]

@2dancingfreaks there's no reason to be afraid, it's not a barrel jump. a barrel jump is the same thing but tilted horizontally.

[Sierraskyeful]

@Cyrus150 i just got my barrel turn lol took me long enough. 

[haleydancer11]

@Cyrus150 Barrel jumps are SO much fun .

[ktdancelove]

@2dancingfreaks i always fall when i do these!

[flutterbylove754]

i love these! we call them tornados at our studio. but there still so much fun!

[juicyPiX]

i love these!<3 i have them almost perfect now

[ariana124321]

@sweetdancer43 you got pulled out of a dance? that's so cruel..If your hip is giving you trouble, you should probably go to a doctor.

[kortneedancer96]

to get your arch and to make your C jump more powerful land down..

[brijay1415]

We call these barrel rolls on my dance team. really cool

[joh0761]

i'm pretty good at C jumps.. but hers is probably better.(: i love justforkix.

[danceluver03]

they make it look so easy and graceful! ahhh i sooo wish i could do tht!!

[MooJoo5555]

Nice! If I could go back in time I would be a dancer like this!!

[Dancedad7]

@xtremedancegirl02 I wouldnt say its neccesary, but it does make it easier to link something to this jump.

[letthembefree]

we call them barrel turns at our studio.

[thisnameisborrowed]

@letthembefree mine too.

[29psalm]

Beautiful!

[invisiblegurl12]

this one is easier then the others, tho it was much easier to learn in a studio

[erinxlovesxpoms]

@Robertking1996 a calypso is something else and wut u described is a calypso

[cczparty009]

isnt it a blind landing?

[twilightsagafreak123]

damn! gosh! these girls make it look easy!!!!

[elijahntheos]

@twilightsagafreak123 well, they were all like us once :P

[Cyrus150]

@twilightsagafreak123 That's because it is.

[monakinsxD]

THATS BEAUTIFUL!! :]

[Robertking1996]

if you do two chaines you'll have more momentum to jump.If you do one you'll have to turn half way,plie 1/4 of the way and jump the rest

[LuvLDZ]

these are sooo beautiful :)

[iLoveNickJonas2121]

oh my gosh i cant do these for my life

[Robertking1996]

a barrel u legs r bended straight together towards ur back,with ur head pulled back and ur arms lunged back.A C jump ur legs should be in attitude at hip position,and together they should make a C

[Robertking1996]

it looks alot like a calypso

[lilkc13]

isnt that just an attitude leap?

[borrms08]

we call these barel rolls except we do multiple in a row

[Kathi10123]

ohwow! it looks so cool ;)

[jonaslover041292]

i thought they were hard til my jazz teacher told us: u have to do them!!! and so i did =)

[omeocd12]

where do you go?

[omeocd12]

we call the jumps c jumps but the tuirning ones barrel rolls

[AnDream109]

its not the same

[mltplprsonalty]

barrel rolls are slightly differently, at least the way I was taught. A barrel roll is more lose and more left then right (or vice versa) where as a turning c jump is BAM up both legs in the air. It is less of a teeter-toter and more of a just throw ur arms and legs and head back. That probably wasn't the best way of explaining the difference but u kind of get the idea

[freezy134]

these are my favorite jumps we call them suicide

[dancer5616]

interesting

[o0Timtam0o]

This is good however on the first turn feet should be together! I'm a ballet nut so technique is everything! :)

[cbear0192]

not as easy as it looks lol. i tried doing one at dance practice and tore a ligement in my knee =(

[LetzteEclipse483]

oh goodness!

[4dancingal]

amazing.

[4dancingal]

we call them barrel turns.

[iLoV3toDance]

my favorite leap. :)

[iDance625]

i love turning c jumps! i had never really tried one, but one day at poms i tried to do one and everyone said that it was good i was really excited!

[balletchick8092]

lol easy

[tarynactress]

Beautiful!

[riskybusiness333]

I've never really tried that. Great job though I liked the warm up. It really broke it down for me.

[jmonkei]

i cant do a C jump yet but i love the way they look

[hollydancer4]

isn't this also called a barrel role?

[chaosxqueen]

no. it's kinda hard to chaine out of a barrel roll

[DanceFreakHannah]

im 5'8"---does anyone think that is too tall for a dancer of any kind??

[musicand5678]

not at all! you can find ways to accentuate your movements with your height!

[shishi026]

Nah. I'm actually your same height. And i do just finee. :)

Haah

[Mikkilov]

you could be a rockette! i think its 5'5" to like 5'9" or something  but i could be wrong

[BallerinaBel]

I'm a bit confused, do you bring the left leg up behind your head as well?

[xborn2danceex]

these are hard! im teaching myself jazz and these arent easy.

[xxDancingBabyxx]

c jumps are easy but good explaining

[blackstardust18]

were doing this right now in my dance team, and man those are HARD! LOL. ii tried it and got a big bruise on my knee...

[blackgur20]

yes as an up and coming praise dancer...these tips are so helpful...i have no ballet training whatsoever...so i'm learning at home...so please keep the vidz coming...

[lhc123456789]

this videos are so helpful thanks

[uagroover]

Your videos are really helpful! Thank You!

[mfvn]

i agree xD

[mileyemily2310]

omg thank you! i had to do these at dance yesterday and i had no idea what to do!

[musicnvrfails]

im so amazed how the dancers make it look so simple and perfect every single time...urggg im so envious =p

[dancer0901]

i love these.

but at my studio they are called sheep leaps...

[doyoulikewaffles12]

how come some places they call those barrels

[dancingsprinkles2]

they look similar but barrels are different. its kinda hard to explain the differences tho lol

[FishyBubblez19]

man all of your videos are so good. they have really helped a lot! thanks!

[lilazndancer0122]

i luv doing these!!! in our studio we call them orbits

[omgmateo]

you guys should do a calypso tutorial cuz i love those

[Falcondancers]

drtsus, yeah ur right. it looks so much like a double stag though!

[Falcondancers]

is that the same as a double stag? it looks like a duble

[drtsus]

A C-Jump makes a "C", where as a double stag makes more of a horizontal "Z" because one attitude is in front of your body and one is behind.

[DanceDaay]

I can't do it still!

Thanks for the videos!

[twilightdreamer95]

beautiful. i cant even do a regular C jump!! lol

[mll027]

WOOOOOOOOOOOW that was cool

[loveitlilbit]

yay, wish i could do that as good!!!
