Struggling with your leg hold turns? These quick tips can make a big difference!  The closer your leg is to your face, the easier the turn becomes!  Don't forget... it's a TURN! Spotting is key.   Every part of your body should be helping you rotate — nothing gets left behind.  Can't hold your leg high during the turn? Try bending your arms and engaging your biceps to pull it in tighter.  #dancetips #legturns #flexibilitytraining #techniquematters #dancerlife

The One Arm Elbow Lever is the first One Arm Handstand that you will learn. 

Being in a mainly vertical position and close to the ground makes this position significantly easier than all other one arm handstands and therefore represents a great entry into the world of hand balancing. 

If you want to learn the One Arm Elbow Lever or how we used to call it the “Crocodile” then follow these steps:


1 - Understand the technique. Turn your hand out to 90 Degrees. Your fingers should point towards the side and your thumb towards your head. Place your elbow close to your midline for the shape to balance itself.

2 - Prepare your body. Get used to putting weight on your wrist by practicing other arm balances such as frog stands, handstands and regular push ups.

Build strength and stability in your shoulders & core practicing forearm stand facing the wall. This is a great way to feel the stacking of hips over shoulders if you’re working on balancing. Start on forearms in tabletop, toes to the wall, come into dolphin. 1️⃣ Wall step ups 🌟 Gazing down or back / neck neutral, step feet up & down the wall, getting comfortable lifting hips up 2️⃣ Step feet to hip height & bend/straighten legs 🌟 Stack hips over shoulders, core engaged 3️⃣ Single leg lift

Work your BOTTOM LEG.

Build up muscle/strength starting from your ankle.

!! If you have weak ankles and cannot pull up, you will not be able to go for more turns. You need to slowly work with bands, & doing relevè exercises/drills to slowly and carefully build strength. Do not force it.
 • Pulling up in a high relevè can only happen if your bottom leg can support you! It all starts at the root of the bottom leg
 • Arms and hands!!!

Try prepping with your palms down, relax your shoulders before.

Do not keep your fingers glued together, do not hold tension in your arms, hands, or fingers, arms can throw a turn off very quickly

Know where your arms are hitting a strong first or second position don’t do in between movements.
 • Let your outside arm in the prep come in quickly to help y
