  • mumbleAMANDA44 if you have only been dancing for a month you are not going onto pointe soon!

  • When You do oversplits its not that helpful to use pillows. The weight of your legs only pushes the pillow down so yes your stretching but your not get the full effect that you would if you used something solid. At Dancer's Edge we use gymnastic mats to begin and then the better you get you move onto chairs, boxes, double mats, anything to better your stretch. After you get the front leg high, then you can move to the back leg to balance you out.

  • @crazykitten2047 just bc u have ur splits does not mean that u will get ur full leap! All you need to do is either develope your front leg higher , brush with a little more force or jump higher! I got my 180 leap before I got all of my splits. Now I have all of my splits and I think the leaping helped

  • I do oversplits off my couch, that's the only way I get a stretch!!!

  • I hope someone reads this cuzz I really need help I have a flat spilts but still canot do a regular leap what should I do How do I get a leap PLEASE HELP ME

  • Very pretty splits!!!!

  • i have got an other video on my channel to learn a oversplit. i watched this video first and than i tried to do it like the girl in the video. first i used pillows and than i tried with a chair. so if you need some other help to learn oversplit watch my video to.

    by the way my english is not so good:D

  • @mumbleAMANDA4 I am the same age as you, a fairly seasoned dancer. your friends may say it's fun, but trust me, you need to be more than seasoned to do this, you can ruin your ankles from the pressure and outstretch your hips. I'm a ballet dancer, and if your teacher says to start, I would confirm with a professional if your ready.

    I'm not starting for a while!

  • @rachel1161979

    That's insane O.O

  • @raccoonxeyesxx Finally have them? When you touch your head to your back foot then you finally have them and a little more.  Nobody needs to tell you.

  • @KatieBug2050 Both are right, if you don't know to which category you belong then it is probably better for you to not do an oversplit.  For me it is a great stretch.

  • @KatieBug2050 It DEFENITLY helps your splits(its like MY miracle worker) so yes its GREAT for you...BUT if you arent fully stretched you could DEFENITLY pull a muscle
