Dance jumps.

Ima dancer and for my colorguard team I have to do leaps. But they alwys seem so low to the ground. How can I make my jumps higher so I can concentrate on the form of my legs then my height???

Well basically just take a large leap and jump as high as you can! I have probably miss understood the question and I have mail me and I will tell you. Hope I helped x x x

First off, stretch everyday to allow you to be flexible; if you can make your legs go wider it will appear as if you are going higher.
Remember that a leap isn't always about traveling far it's about getting higher off the ground. So concentrate more on the prep before the jump and going high more than trying to go farther. Get as low as possible and use your arms if possible during the prep. Your arms in a preparation are very important but since you are in color guard I'm not sure how well you will be able to use your arms if you have to carry your flag. If you are preping with a chasse or some other kind of step make the steps big and powerful.

well, I don't do colorguard, but I
do dance. so, they are probably
very similar. I have been working
on the same thing for dance. to
get my legs higher, I stretch a lot.
here are some stretching ideas:
-you could start out simple, by
sitting down on a flat floor, putting
your legs in front of you and pointing
your toes and trying to reach to your toes.
-then you could stay seated and just
put your legs in a v and stretch to
each side.
-I'm not sure if you can do splits or not,
but if you can then I would start doing some
jump splits (but always stretch before you
do those, cus you could pull a muscle) and
if you can't do splits, then maybe work on
them, cus they can improve your leaps.
(those are just some ideas, but to get more
ideas, maybe check the internet or if
you have on demand, you could do some
workouts on there, too.)

im very flexible in my legs, I can do side and front splits

practice with ankle weights
