| JUMPS |
| The three main parts to a jump is the prep, lift and the landing. The prep is like the birth of the jump. It gives height and grace. Without the prep, jumps would be more difficult to do. The lift is important because it is what extends you legs and arms into the right position.The landing completes the jump. This part of the jump is what most people have difficulty with. Landing with your feet together gives the jump a finished look. |
| ~* Toe Touch*~ Don't actually try to touch your toes! In a great toe touch , your hand will usually reach for the insides of your ankles. * If you place your arms slightly lower than a T motion, it might make good jumps lookeven better. |
| ~* Spread Eagle *~ For this jump, your knees face forward. Make sure you also hit an excellent high V because that can make or break your form! |
| ~* Front Hurdler *~ The front hurdler is performed at a 45 degree angle from the crowd. The fron leg goes as high as possible, like a front kick. And the back leg bends behind you. |
| ~* Side Hurdler *~ Bring your frnot leg srait up, extending it out to the side. your knee and shoe laces should be facing up. At the same time bend the other leg, bringing it upward until the entire thigh is level with the ground. |
| ~* Herkie *~ The herkie is performed like the side hurdler except for ONE difference- the back leg. The back leg has the knee pointing down instead of level with the ground. There are also two arm positions for this jump. |
