I can do every leap.....but this one...I try sooooooo hard...I think the problem is I'm not getting high enogh so that I can finish my switch.....-__________- any suggestions on how to get higher?

[sara8301D]

i have known this for two years i still cant get it right then in dance class i did it, fell, and sprained my ankle now i cant dance for a month

When I do it, my front leg is normally not high enough to be parallel, that's what my coach keeps saying :(.

I had to do a switch leap in Nutcracker this year (I was a Russian) and we did this differently. We did a chasse-step-step-switch. In my case I swung my left leg up even though I'm a righty. It's all personal preference though. If you keep doing it over and over again the leg you push off of will build up enough strength and you will FLY! Trust me. I had to learn a switch from nothing in 3 months and by the performance I was getting 3-4 feet off the ground.

I can barely get my front leg up at all..

@jfkvideos when i do it i can brush my leg front and back but i can't get my other leg high up enough in a full leap split.
