Thanks for the messages! I skipped the pikey skills like toe shoot, toe-on, etc. and it's on the other split that I use for tumbling and stuff so it got a good rest!

I pulled my hamstrings in one of my legs when I was doing the other leg splits. I didn't feel anything bad when I was doing them, but then it just happened and I noticed it when I was doing the pike stretch with the same leg stretching (one leg straight, one leg bent pike stretch). I probably should have warmed up a little more that day before going into the split! The other day I got a pop in[ Read More... ]

Clockwise - the dancer is turning with her right shoulder going back. The picture isn't changing lol.
