TURNING CENTERS | Tips & Exercises to Improve Turning Discs/Second Leaps

[@KayleenBabel]

Did these tips help ya'll? Let me know! :-)

[@kelendriaroberts3358]

Yes. But still confused, I’ve been stretching and practicing for better leaps to be equal on both sides. But it’s still challenging. Also on tryout day if a right grand jete is in a combo, would you recommend doing a left instead, or a bad right?

[@KayleenBabel]

[@ashleymasseyofficial]

Thank you😳I was at tryouts today and I hadn’t done a turning disc before so I was really stressed out but my final thing is on Friday so hopefully these make me better😬😊

@@KayleenBabel one last question haha but what does it feel like when you get both legs up (like is it a flick if that makes sense haha) and do you feel like you are tucking your butt

[@morganluoto8159]

This was super helpful thank you!!

Gonna try some of these 🙂 Jumps are not my thing, but I think the first moves will be helpful for my goals, and the tips in general, so thanks! Subscribed!

Make sure to hit a strong fifth position before you bring your legs up, and do a little pop in your leap :)

How do you use a spin disc

[@laurynrosckes8105]

so helpful! thank you for this!!

[@KayleenBabel]

Yay I'm happy it helped!!! You're welcome :-)

[@kelendriaroberts3358]

So I can do a close to perfect left grande here but not a right one. How do I switch over the movement. By just stretching?

[@KayleenBabel]

Can you explain further what you mean? I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but most likely it has to do with strength, not stretching!

[@kelendriaroberts3358]

Kayleen Babel Ive been working on how to get a right grand jete. And I already have my left one and it’s Preety good. But how do I get the right one? A I approach to do it, only my right leg goes up and my back left is straight down.

[@justangel2714]

Kelendria Roberts oh i had this same problem! Do controlled back battements to build up strength. And stretch your Arabesque on that side to build flexibility. Also stretch your over-split on that side or do a regular split with your back leg elevated to stretch.

[@KayleenBabel]

Kelendria Roberts 1) make sure you can do your splits relatively easily 2) practice holding arabesque and doing little pulses up. If you can hold a solid 90 degree arabesque and you’re able to do your splits, you should be able to do pretty good leaps!

[@KayleenBabel]

Just Angel yes!!! Being able to hold Arabesque is 🔑 :-) it’s back & booty strength + flexibility
