«You’re my first ballet teacher » awww my heart is melting huhh 😫 one day I hope ill finally do those leaps correctly too 💁🏽‍♀️

[@augustocsb1]

I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing content you post! Recently I started dancing, and if it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t be in the higher classes or dancing like I am. You’re amazing!

[@alexismiller8935]

Can you do a video on how to improve your split leaps?? I’m having trouble with a bent back leg.

[@LaurasLabyrinth]

Alexis Miller same here! It’s so frustrating and feels like no matter how hard i try to channel energy through the keg to make it straight, it doesn’t work! X

[@kturner76]

@@LaurasLabyrinth I'm interested in the split leap, too, but could you break down the take-off/landing a little more? I know it's in a plie, but how do you control the plie when landing?

[@RUBYALOPEZ]

Focusing on sqeezing the back knee and pointing the back foot really helps maybe youre getting into the leaps with too much power but no control:))

[@alexismiller8935]

Angelina L. Ok thank youu!

[@Anna-sc3gq]

Are you turning your leg out? That was my problem

[@sophiaholness9823]

Hey Auti!!! I’m very happy you posted this! Needed this right now!!!! Love ya!

[@maddiebennett687]

I want to thank you so much Ms. Auti. My family can’t put me in classes so I started to watch your channel and I have learned so much. I am starting to learn pirouettes and (trying but failing) my al secondes. I first watched this video when it was posted and I practiced today and I did my front leap without mistakes and I cried tears of joy. Thank you for everything you do you make such an impact ❤️💕🙏🏻

I'm sure the people in my gym are trying to figure out what the heck is going on, but I love this video! It helped so much! I'm learning modern dance and contemporary at home and I appreciate all of this!

Leaps are one of the things I struggle with the most and you really helped breaking it down with all the technique and everything thanks!😋

Do you have a tutorial on switch leaps? I would like to see that and learn some tools to master it.

[@rutujaghanwat5864]

My split is complete but when i try to the leap my legs just dont go that higher and straight and both at the same time... Plz give me tips..

[@kabitapokharel3465]

Squeeze your legs and make sure you’re turned out (it might not get to a full split because of you being turned out) I don’t know a lot because I’m kind of a beginner but my dance coach tell me that so

[@erins.5420]

Is your split completely with toes pointing up or turning in to the floor? Splits are harder when your hips are turned out and toes pointing up if the foot is flexed or or pointing out with the inside of your arch facing out(and up) if the foot is pointed. Remember ability means nothing without proper technique just because you can do the splits doesn’t mean that it looks pretty or that you can use that ability for another move. However it does mean your on the right track and now your able to move forward. What will also help is laying on your stomach and stretching your hips and inner thigh muscles by bending your knees to look like a frog. Keep your hips and feet on the floor as you bend your knees. Don’t allow anyone to help you because forcing this is not ok but it’s a great stretch and the more you do it you will see progress over time and it will help with your turnout and middle splits.

[@shreya9288]

make sure your hips are SQUARE in your split!! this is very important

[@aubrie5283]

@@shreya9288 i just dont understand what that means

[@shreya9288]

Aubrie this means that your hips are aligned with your shoulders to make an invisible square shape think of it as balancing bricks on top of bricks

[@eleanorasiimwe7412]

Miss Auti thanks for this lesson I honestly couldn't do it with you

[@savannahvalentinewitherspoon]

Since I’ve been seeing this question in the comments a lot, my jazz teacher taught me that if you want to sit in your leaps more, the key is air time. Use your plié to push your self as high as possible so you have time to hit the full position and stay in it longer

[@lillysyoga]

Thank you so much for this!! Your whole channel making dance technique simple and accessible to anyone is truly a blessing 💓💓😍😍

[@christiannadolgos]

I have the flexibility to do a front leap, but it never turns out to look like a split in the air! My dance teacher gets so upset/mad. Do you have any tips or anything that can help? Love your vids!!

[@emilygrace3526]

I'm no expert by any means, but it sounds like you have flexibility without the strength to get it there without pushing up against something, like doing a split on the floor. My best tip would be to find a doorway in your house and do a vertical split in the doorway. Push yourself into a split so that one leg is on the ground and the other is in the air. Once you have that down, try to lean your top leg away from the door frame. Your goal is to be fully in the split without touching the frame with either leg, but you can start by just holding one leg away from it. This should build strength along with your flexibility if you do it often. I hope this helps

[@optimisticpoet7802]

i got my leaps to look like full splits in the air by REALLY stretching my over split and then working out my legs to get the power to propel me into the air. it made my splits even more natural to go into and the extra power really propelled them to be much straighter, easier!!

[@lisaplatt297]

Can you do a tutorial on knee drop jumps please?

[@victoriadobbyn2404]

I’m actually very interested in dancing but my parents don’t think I have what it takes but I got a project with making the thingy for the egg so you can drop it without it breaking and I thought what about calypso jumps you turn so when you land In a tuck you don’t hurt yourself or break if you where an egg so let’s hope this gets me an A tysm

hello miss auti, I’m trying to learn a calypso for a dance scholarship, although I have the high chaine and the low chaine, but I don’t understand how I go from the low chaine to the leap, and do you have any tips on how to make the leap itself better? Thank you ❤ your videos are amazing 😊

[@mindeliciousdefinitionmake4517]

How does the calypso girl land in fifth position after the low chaine

[@webkinzroyal43]

Might be a silly question from someone who has never taken a ballet class but when the girl doing the calypso leap does the high and low chaine turns, it looks like she is in 5th/3rd position. What's the best position for this jump?

[@elev8edelitesdanceandcheer746]

Nice Work!!!

[@KG-si1gg]

This was so helpful thank u!!!!

[@sarahcanovi6399]

Need tips on how to you get your legs to go higher in the jump. My daughter can do the splits perfectly on both sides and in the middle but she cannot get her legs very far off the ground in center leaps, firebirds, etc. I don’t know what else to tell her.

could i learn this at 22 but i used to do ballet and lyrical??

@@xbxlla028 Ahhhh don't work on your oversplits! They weaken your ligaments... it's not good for you :(

I dunno if anyone knows this, but there’s a contemporary style move where you like run up and tuck up one leg and the other kicks out straight to the side then you roll out of it? Sorry my explaining is bad

[@raymondtung5439]

I have oversplits but I still can't defy gravity like y'all. I injured my knee 3 times last year. Is it because I don't have any abs/core strength ?

[@miafitzhugh756]

I know this is real late, but it could be because of your oversplits. Oversplits can really hurt you; they weaken your ligaments so that your knees get weaker and it's harder to do things like land jumps.

my center leaps are terrible, my mom just tells me i look pathetic because everyone else is better than me. i look pitiful for a 13 year old barely getting off the floor. i just don’t know how to get enough power to get higher and lift my legs higher. i keep doing them over and over again and they look the same even when i try to improve. i just can’t

[@AlyssaAndersen-oc2ik]

hey this is really late so you might already have them but some tips that helped me are: -make sure you really sit your butt down in the leap -work on the leap in place at a bar and sit your butt down and kick your legs out -make sure both of your feet are turned out that way you’ll be able to get higher -just keep practicing and working on strength to kick your legs up higher you got this!! 💗💗
