How to Improve your Switch Leaps

05/15/2018

Are you ready to improve your Switch Leaps? 

Here's how to break it down and nail them correctly every time!

  1. You can start a switch leap by doing a sashay or three runs. 
  2. 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.
  3. Your right leg should be in plie. Don’t bring your left leg up too high, approximately a 45 degree angle. 
  4. Don’t sit in your plie long or you will have no momentum to get up. 
  5. Keep your back leg straight and turn out your back leg. 
  6. Work on mastering your splits and straight leap to get a great switch leap!
