How To Improve Your Switch Leaps - Just For Kix How-To: Episode #9

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- You can start a switch leap by doing a sashay or three runs.
Start sashay with left foot. Step with right foot. Brush your left leg to drive right leg up to hit right split in the air.
Your right leg should be in plie. Don’t bring your left leg up too high, approximately a 45 degree angle.
Don’t sit in your plie long or you will have no momentum to get up.
Keep your back leg straight and turn out your back leg.
Work on mastering your splits and straight leap to get a great switch leap!

Emily Lyons Or a gallop
How to flexibility exercise/your warm up tips?
Im more of a self taught dancer do you have any tips or tricks to help me improve
Amber Pro For improve pick a song that you can move to. When you get a good song that gives you nice vibes just let your body move to the song. Improve is all you, there's no correo and all you have to do is feel the music and move to it! Hope this helped
Thank You!! :)
What to pack for performances video please!

How to fortates!
CUTIEPIE0605 AJ I think you mean *fouettes
My advice is: don't worry about how it looks. No one else is going to care.
Todd Bollom that’s great advice if you want to come last in everything
Unless your a competitive dancer and you want to do good at your scompetitions
This helped soo much!!
What to pack for performances video please!
The “pushing something off the floor with your toes,” just changed my switchleap! Thank you!
I accidentally clicked on this video searching for a muay thai switch kick tutorial, well practicing this improved my fluidity of the kick.
omg! this helped so muchhh
UMM YOU ASSUME IM A RIGHTY I AM A LEFTY
what if you’re good leg is left and you can only do a left leap? left is definitely not a dreaded leap.
Can you show us what it actually looks like?
She never does the switch leap tho
Okay, it's not sashay, it's chasse pronounced shah-say. I noticed that in the notes, haven't watched to hear if it's being mispronounced, but sashay is not a dance term.
She said chassé like 12 times, with perfect pronunciation. She slipped up once and said “sashay” but dancers are jerks.
@@Esther_Grace liiiike I saiddd…. Noticed in the notes and unfortunately many “dancers” mispronounce it 🤷♀️
I'm better at left leaps lol
My left leap is actually better than my right.
I’m just a lefty in a world of righties
I'm really not a fan that you said the left leap is a "dreaded" leap. Dancers have good and not so good sides but working both sides makes a dancer stronger. Also, if you demonstrated the tricks it would be a great visual.
1. She didn’t say not to work both sides. There are more righty dancers than lefty dancers, and many kids dread their bad side. Nothing wrong with that.
2. Teachers don’t need to necessarily accomplish a movement in order to teach it well. She probably didn’t do it because she couldn’t, at least not anymore.
This girl knows her shit.
I have a question what if you want to be in dance but you are not flexible you can't do flips and stuff like that
Aurora flexibility can be improved with some stretching and hard work and you do not need to do flips to dance the only reason you would be doing a lot of flips is if you’re doing acro which a lot dancers do not take
Aurora yes! When I started dance I could do literally nothing. Not even a cartwheel. Tricks come over time, don’t worry!
Wtf is sashey its a chassé
She literally said chassé like 12 times, with perfect pronunciation.
She slipped up once and said “sashay”, can you not let a mistake go?
when does she do the actual leap
I love switch leaps
#Leftie ❤️
I'm still not getting it
I dread right leaps and can only do left leaps
Thank you
It is weird. I am a righties but I do splits on my left but I do a better split leap on my right.
My left leg is my good leg too
I'm left handed
Your chasse is actually a step ball change, a chasse is a sliding movement which links steps ❤️
Wait I never got to see her actually do it lol
YourMom dotcom34 that’s what i thought
Dance coaches don’t need to be able to dance to teach well
@@mabelc4175 well said
Could you do a video on headsprings please? I was just at camp and got mine but I need to improve it
I have my switch leap really good but I'm looking for it to be high
I actually love switch leaps one of my favorites
It's chasse (I can't add the accent). You have excellent tutorials but I think it's important to say and spell the names of steps correctly. Thanks for doing them.
amen!
She literally said chassé like 12 times, with perfect pronunciation...?
She slipped up once and said “sashay”, can you not let a mistake go?
sadly my foot hurts right now and I'm not able to do something like that. But I'm really looking forward to practicing it in a few days😀
I thought it was called a Russia
1. russian* not russia and 2. a russian leap, or traveling middle or even open second is a splits leap but centre so both legs are turned out and you are facing the audience
😔😩😖😫😰😢😭😢
left is my good leg or some reason
Quiana Prouductions same
same. its so hard for me to do stuff on the right because my left is just so much better! ugh
Quiana Reacts same
Me to!!!
Quiana Flips I only wrote this comment because it wouldn't let me discard it
When you have your left leg up before you switch are you up off the floor as you have it in front of you??
Rosa Ortiz yes
I wish you were my ballet teacher gosh
not tryna be ride but I talk to much
Taaay Moneeey thats sounds like a personal problem
Why not 90 degrees?
I always do mine at about 90 degrees.. I feel like it helps get my legs up, but that's just how I learned it in gymnastics and certain classes
I saw in the comments that people were wondering why she didn't do the actual leap and wanted to provide this link :)

For me a right leap is what I dread. I'm a leftie and can not for the life of me, get a right grande Jete. Please do a video on improving your bad leg leap.
omg I need that really badly
Mollie Hovey same
Mollie Hovey omg me too
Mollie Hovey omg i never related to something more
I’m a rightie but my left is my good leg
I have those socks
You're such a great teacher please keep making more videos😊❤️
Omg if she's a teacher song wear socks #1 no when dancing and at least show the jump you teaching us, so you show a cart wheel by just placing your hand where they go ?
Maybe you could do a tutorial on renverse jumps? (-: (Ps I apologize if it's spelled wrong)
WHY ARE YOU NOT MY TEACHER
Your videos help me so much thankyou xx
I stopped watching at 1:15 because that is NOT a chasse
Edit:
Back 6 years later ☠️ guys.. ok I was trained in RAD ballet and dancecor contemp. For me, a chasse has always been one foot sliding out. Not what she has shown here. Its cool how the same words can be used for different thing around the world buuut this is not a chasse TO ME 😬
It seemed to me she was just giving a briefing of the leap. She never did it full-out so I think she was just trying to be quick and simple.. Though I would have liked to see it done full-out
You could argue that she used a jazz chasse, and not a simple ballet chasse.
+Aubrey Mailloux I'm not familiar with jazz or it's terminology but maybe :) ..
yh, we call it a step ball change
That is a chasse, which is a step forward and a ball change where the back leg "chases" the front leg. Chasse's go up in the air, step ball changes and she just didn't go very high.
At what time in the video does she actually do the leap?
She doesn't, it was just a briefing.. I would have liked to have seen it too (-:
Switch tilt??!!😁
