I have a big problem of getting my back leg up. love this video

[@lopsidedgit328]

Hey Claudia do you have any tips on keeping the back knee straight in leaps? My back knee is always slightly bent in my leaps and I'm not sure how to fix that...

[@kimberlyree]

sia specifically focusing on the turn out in the back leg really helps me straighten out my leaps

[@vanessaeshou1514]

That always used to happen to me! You really just need to think about straightening the back leg because often you will just forget about it and concentrate on the front.

[@DancerGirl755]

sia i have the same Problem

[@kalanifrancis9954]

sia so is mine. i also have the same problem! i always try so hard but i just cant

[@miabendele9361]

really focus on turning your back leg out. usually it fixes a bending knee

[@celestechong_]

Hi Claudia, when I do grand jetes and saut de chats, I often have trouble getting my back leg up ~ do you have any tips? xxx Love this video by the way 😊💕

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Celeste Chong Hi Celeste! I will do another tutorial soon about arms & back legs in split leaps too then! Xoxo

[@celestechong_]

[@bamangell]

Celeste Chong i recommend lifting your chest up and holding your core but don't sway your back

[@urdad5586]

I love how the whole time she is teaching and speaking to the child instead of the camera it really feels like I’m in an actual class or workshop. Amazing job ❤❤🥰

[@margaritanoir]

I'm an adult but I really enjoyed your vid! One note: with years oversplit might worsen or be lost after any sort of inactive period (it took like 2 yrs for me after heavy injury) but I've discovered that the reason I still oversplit on air (and not on ground unless I force myself) is cause of the momentum created by my really strong inner thighs, abs and shoulders! I credit wall sits, crunches and my own addiction to swimming every summer for keeping my lovely high split jumps! And now your video motivated me to work on the flexibility aspect again, thank you

[@IdolEyes84]

Aww I just came here after watching Dance Moms, loving the contrast :) You're a sweet teacher. I started ballet at 5 years old and it only lasted a year, I got board and now I don't dance any more (I do a little bit of yoga and running). Could you please do a very basic video, for people that are still learning first position etc? Do you do any other style of dance? Really want to move my furniture around and try and start this at home :)

[@lyly1913]

I am 16 and I started dance when I was about 15 and my leaps are terrible, so thank you for this! It’s really helpful

Claudia, you are an amazing teacher. You are very precise and at the same time kind and motivating. I'm 63 and in my time, ballet teachers were often remote and often rather negative.

hi claudia, i have a similar problem to kenzie but instead my front leg goes higher and back leg drops any tips? loved the video x

[@elaynatabb3319]

Brigette Lawrence same

[@solar0wind]

Brigette Lawrence Both of my legs don't go really far (I'm not really strong), but we don't do Grand Jeté Developpé/Saut de Chat but a normal Grand Jeté, so with a straight front leg. I don't know whether that makes a difference. Any tips on how to improve my leaps?

[@MarijeK]

Solar Wind I think a normal grand jeté is a lot harder than the développé version. I always do the normal one first with my students, because of that. Think of the jump as two grand battements put together. And all the tips in this video about attack, speed, and momentum help a lot! Also, the oversplit tip is probably a good one, stretching in and beyond the shape you want to make.

[@solar0wind]

Ppendu Thank you :)
