Hi everyone!
I have a few questions about back walkovers. I can do the splits, a front walkover, and a backbend kickover. When I go into my back walkover, I can do the first part where I do a backbend on one foot but then I can't kick over from there immediately when my foot hits, but when I...
I'm a baton twirler for my high school (I perform as the feature twirler of my school's marching band during halftime shows at football games). Next year I hope to do basic tumbling/gymnastics on the turf during the performances. I can do really easy, basic tricks like cartwheels, front...
Hi!
For a front walkover, I keep putting my phone down in the middle/towards the end of when I am standing up. How do you keep your foot from touching the ground when you are coming up? I can do a front limber also.
For a back walkover, I can do a backbend kickover on the floor. However, how...
Thanks for the replies.
Regarding hip flexibility, I have my right splits flat and I am very close to left and I can do a middle split. Does anyone have any stretches to improve hip flexor and shoulder flexibility? Also, in my backbend, the bend comes from my lower back, how do I incorporate my...
1. I go on releve (in dance) or on my tippy toes every time I stand up from a bridge. Is there any way to change this? i think it looks sloppy.
2. How do you kick over with straight legs? I can kick over with bent legs and I can only do it if i push off in this weird way.. I cannot tendu (in...
Okay, so I have to get my backbend kickover by next week because my gym coach is doing a test for all of us and I really want to stay at this level of class.
I can do it on a hill and off a bed. I have gotten it like 2-3 times already in the past few months and lost it each time. I'm pushing...
Hi! I'm an acro dancer who does regular contortion and gymnastics in dance.
After doing things like backbends or anything that involves arching my back, if I don't do something to keep my back warmed for like 5 minutes, it starts to get sore if I try to even lean back. Is this normal or is this...
Thanks guys. I can do middle splits/straddle splits so flexibility isn't really an issue. However, my main problem is this:
I put my hands down, but I know it's common. However, I put them down RIGHT AWAY. So it's not a dive cartwheel, it's a regular one with a hurdle. Any solutions?
Hey guys!
Side aerials have always been my dream skill. I can do a solid cartwheel and have been working on perfecting it with straight legs, pointed toes, straight arms, and a big straddle for a while now. My next step has been wanting to do a side aerial.
However, when attempting a dive...
Hi! I have a few questions about cartwheels and front limbers. Thank you so much for taking your time to read/answer these questions!
1) Is there a trick to keeping your legs straight besides pointing your toes and really practicing a lot? I make sure to lunge forward and practice a lot and try...
Hi everyone! I'm an acro dancer, so I am incorporating tumbling skills into different dance styles (I'm a boy btw). I have several questions (I'm a COMPLETE beginner!):
1. For cartwheels, do you guys have any tips? I can't really seem to kick over my head.
2. For handstands, I always kick too...
