How To Do A Calypso Leap Just For Kix

05/15/2018

The leap starts with a down chaîné. Make sure you don't over rotate! 

Think of the down chaîné and leap as one, it's the whole leap. Use your momentum from your chaîné to get up in the air on your leap.

In the air, you should be in your right splits with your left (back) leg in attitude and arms up. Make sure you don't open up your hips. 

To do a layout, lift your torso up and lean back. 

Make sure your leap is facing the front and not the side. When you leap, it is not one leg and then the other. You want to hit it at the same time. 

When you land, you should be landing with your right foot, then left foot. 

Drill:

Down chaîné and stop with arms in correct position and right toe pointed out.
