advice

I been dancing for about 7 or 8 years. But im scared to try out for dance company, because the fact not making it, it kills me! Should i try out? Or should i not try out so it doesnt hurt mee

i have been dancing for about 7 years. i know how you feel. i tried out for my company and i didnt make it but im still living and im okay with it. i think you should try out cause think about. if you dont try out not only will you not be in company but you might regret not trying out because then you would never know if you could have made it or not. but if you try out not only do you have the chance of making it but you also will be able to be happy knowing at least you tried and wont regret NOT trying out. and if you dont make it life goes on and you will be able to learn from the adutions and wat to expect and next year deffinatley make it. good luck!!! and i hope i helped you out!

okay well i am on my highschool cheer team and i am a back in my stunt group. before we go to camp we must have an extension. You know all the way up. well our flyer is brand new never cheered let alone flown before. we have a real good double base with craddle and just got a push up (double base pushing up to extension -- some people call it different things) well camp is at the end of the month and like i said we need a straight up extension. ive tried every peice of advice i could give our flyer but is there anyother tips i could give her to get over her fear and get her up easier? thanks sooo much =]

tell her to lock her knees, keep her back straight, and tell her to squesh her butt. also if posible try to get your team toghter at a pool and try it in the pool its a lot less scary IF you fall down to fall into the water. then mabye she wont be as scared to try it on grass. hope i helped!

Hi. I am a Cheerleader and i was wondering if anyone has any tips or things to do to jump higher. I need to learn how to jump higher so anyone could anwer this as long as you do somthing with jumping such as track, basketball, ect. Please anwer. My jumps are pretty bad because im not jumping very high so if anyone has anything for me to do please tell me.

thanks in advance..

megg.

i am a dancer and cheerleader so i can help you out. well what i did to make my jumps better was to start on my toes and swing your arms and when they reach exactly the pointe were there about to go up bend down and push off. aslo do certain leg strengthing exercises to strengthin your legs to jump higher. such as squats, jumping jacks, or anything thats a simple excersise. hope i helped!

Please answer only if you have experince in ballet or know someone who does...
I am a female, age 14, and I weigh 140lbs (about). Do you think I am too fat to do pointe work? Am I too fat to have a partner? What can I do to ensure that I will be able to start pointe in the fall? (I have to please my teacher and it is totally her choice wether or not I can take pointe) Do you think I need to loose weight for this? Thank you so much

ok i have taken ballet for 5 years so i think i might be able to help you out. i dont think you would really need to lose wieght but u might wanna build up your ancle strength. thats what pointe is all about you need alot of ancle strength. trust me i would know. and if you are not able to take pointe see if your studio offers pre-pointe to begin. i hope i helped!

I was wondering if someone could explain to me what modern dance is like. I tried looking online but i never really got much of an explination. I'm thinking its kind of like a lyrical but with alot more of like body moventment kind of things (like kinda yogaish moves).

I would prefer and explanation over just site links please

A style of theatrical dance that rejects the limitations of classical ballet and favors movement deriving from the expression of inner feeling.

okay im a cheerleading. all of my years of doing i have been a flyer well this year im not flying at all. im in the back for a lot of the cheers so far & i just dont think this is right. this is my 7th year that i have been doing it. should i say something to the coach or should i just wait and see what happens? like this is only our 4th-5th practice so far? but im sick of like not doing anything. i front spot two things and then they dunno waht they are going to do with me for this one mount because some other girl replaced me. so im thinking im probably going to have to hide behind a mount & i just don't think this is right. any ideaS?

well the back is inportant. you have to make sure someone doesnt fall. and it may not be all bad, i have gone from flyer to base to back then back agian to base and once more flyer. your postion could be changed. dont worry too much about it but if it does really bother then talk to the couch and ask why she has moved your postion and see if there is anything you can do. i hope i helped!
