Let me know what has helped you with your leaps! I'd love to hear any tips or advice you have!!!
Kayleen Babel I stretch my spilt a lot! So my leap is very high!
HEY KATHLEEN. My split leaps have straight front legs but often my back legs are a little bent at the knee. Could you offer tips to help this? I would like specific tips, because this only happens with my back leg
I’ve been dancing for about 4 years and I’ve made a lot of progress for only dancing for 4 years but I’m struggling with my leaps a lot I’ve been taking your advice and I’m doing what your doing and I’m seeing progress which is crazy because leaps have always been a struggle for me
i have been dancing for 5 years and i also struggle with leaps. i am very flexible i just can’t get high. i hope this helps me! i’m glad it helped you!!

I’ve been dancing for 11 years and have all my splits and I’m taking advanced classes yet I still suck at leaps and I’m so embarrassed about it. Im going to try all these tips before class every week and I hope I improve :]
did you? I'm curious ahah
Hello
Beautiful, can you give some tips on getting middle splits, or improving your kicks in a kick line drill team!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'll try to get to those! Thanks for watching :-)
yes!! I have the flexibility (I think) but my hips aren't very flexible so it doesn't let me go completely down...
Thank you! Love the clarity and the enthusiasm! 😍
Don't forget me when you BLOW up !! I really needed this .
Lily Magqibelo 😂🥰 haha you’re so sweet. I’m glad I could help!!!! ♥️
thank you so much! ive been dancing for about 6 years and i've never really had good leaps. this is my first year of competition dance so i wanna have some good leaps! this helped a lot!
Thank you, Kayleen these videos are really helping me to be able to better develop my leaps and core strength for getting back into dance again.

I’m a teen beginner (ballet) and I’m very flexible ( I have a gymnastics background so yeah) and I was reccomended for company auditions but I’m afraid of having to do the leaps because I can’t seem to get high enough to fully extend my legs. Thank you!
Omg yessss thank you
Improv Saturdays ♥️♥️♥️ my pleasure
I used to do Irish dance, and it’s actually really hard to do our jumps.. You can’t use Plié and you can’t use your arms.. So it’s hard. I’m also someone who grew up on ballet and jazz so then it was hard doing a switch to that. But now I’m back into ballet.
Yeah, I'm an Irish Dancer, and I almost feel like it's easier to do certain jumps in these dances because you can bend your leg for that spring, unlike irish dance, you cannot.
SUPER HELPFUL!! ❤️❤️I’m trying out for a high school dance team and need help after this quarantine lol. Can you do and calypso or fancier leap tutorials and tips? :)
Yay! Yessss calypsos coming soon. Fancier leaps may need to wait a bit til I can get back into a studio :)
girlll did you make the team?
You are so pretty
My teacher is not to happy with my leaps since I am in an advanced class I can’t wait to do all these tips later when I can practice hopefully they will improve cause I wanna prove I belong in the advanced class. Leaps are my kryptonite when it comes to dance.
you're so pretty!
Me: frantically taking notes Kayleen: "I've included a little cheat sheet..." Me: drops pencil, hugs phone 🤗
I need this 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I’ve been dancing for 7 years and I can’t really split if can’t really leap or do a pirouette or a leg lift or a toe touch so I’m trying to learn in 2 in a half months because I have tryouts in September
Keep it up KayBabe! I’m your biggest fan!
Emmi Ayoub Aw thanks 🥺 I’m your biggest fan ok
I’m starting lyrical again ( I did it when I was 5 ) but I still struggle with them to hopefully these help a little
Your tips were very helpful! Could you give advice on how to keep your upper body from looking like a mess in the air. My jumps are just not that pretty. Thanks!
Work on your port de bras by itself without doing the jump first, and get comfortable with finding the right arm positions easily... I also find that doing core work and strengthening your upper body helps :-)
@@KayleenBabel thank you so much for your help! Have a great weekend!
In an arabesque leap, how do I get my back leg higher? Should I work on my regular arabesque to get it higher or do these exercises?
I’ve been dancing for like 8 years now (I’m 11) and I’m great at turns, splits need a tiny bit of work but oh my… my leaps are… something else! I can’t get my front leg high enough in the air to make it look good and im going to technique camp to work on it for 3 hours a day 4 days. And I at least want to look decent at them… help me.
Also does this apply to side ways leaps?
HEY KATHLEEN. My split leaps have straight front legs but often my back legs are a little bent at the knee. Could you offer tips to help this? I would like specific tips, because this only happens with my back leg
Why does my foot often hurt after landing? It seems like the force is all crashed into it.
How do you prep into a leap?
Is the cheat sheet still available?
I am 8 and I started dancing when I was 2
Aha! I am an Irish Step Dancer who does cross training in this type of dance, and it's true that we don't bend our knees. Like, ever. This video helps a lot!
Wait u live in Houston? Same here!
tips for leg extensions and tilts?
I'll make a video soon! Stretching and consistently practicing the range of motion will help a lot :-)
I was 6 when I started dance but when u stared doing leaps I had trouble bring my back leg up and the thing which would annoy me a lot is that say plie more like I am but nope 😐
Hi my turning center and regular center don’t look good at all! I’ve been doing all of your exercise to get a better turning center for about 2 weeks and they still look bad! Please help me, I have tryouts in exactly 205 days
well there's nothing wrong with that if you've only been doing it for 2 weeks! that's not very long at all! keep working on it... you still have plenty of time! I promise once you keep doing them consistently you'll get much better 💙
Bye the way in the prep that (4th position) we call B plus
Ok ik this is super random bit your eyes are ✨GORGEOUS✨
haha thank you!!!!
