Dance Tips for Jumps and Leaps
Want to improve your jumps or leaps? Here are some important things to remember…
1. PLIE. The deeper the pile, the higher the jump!
2. STRENGTH. Leaps and jumps take a lot of strength, so strengthen those legs.
3. FLEXIBILITY. Flexibility will help make standard leaps or jetes, side leaps, switch leaps, etc., a little easier. If you have your splits flat and squared, your legs should generally go up higher in your leaps.
