Thanks to Dance...

shortgirlphoto asked: So, you go ahead and call out a submitter for calling out another submitter over some issues with cheerleading involving training just like dance, and you say "call out the submitter". But don't you APPROVE the submissions? Meaning you can choose not to post something that is untrue? I mean, you take the time to reply to submission, so I think you have control over them. Take responsibility for what you post!

Answer:

oh my god i can’t even believe you wrote this message.

I am not a dictator. I am not going to pick and choose what goes on this blog. It’s a submission run blog, meaning the whole point is for me to take no part in this blog except to post submissions.

Bye.

I haven’t updated this blog in ages because I run several other blogs that take up too much time, along with two jobs, full time student, and lots of other things.

I’m thinking of getting another moderator or two who has time to take submissions and make them.

If you’re interested:

Must have photoshop
Must have basic photoshop abilities
Must have basic grammar/spelling knowledge. You wouldn’t believe how many submissions I have to completely rework to make sense.

Message me if you’re interested!

Anonymous asked: My computer won't let me log in but my username is leahnmiller: I am in 8th grade and I really want to try out for the dance team at the high school. one problem. Im not all the way down in my splits! I try soooooo hard and i am very close! any tips to get me all the way down to the ground?

Answer:

Stretch twice a day if you can, hold the stretches for longer, make sure your pelvis and hips are straight, and if you’re close then move onto practicing your oversplit, then you’ll be flat in no time!

dancerchiq19 asked: So for the past couple months I've had a really tight hamstring and I have no idea what caused it. I used to be really flexible but now I get sharp pains everytime I stretch my leg. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it better??

Answer:

You may have overstretched it or pulled it. The best thing for it is so ice it and rest it with some very light stretching. It’ll eventually start to slowly stretch back out. I’ve done this several times before too. Make sure your very warmed up before stretching and don’t overstretch.

Tyce, Tyce, Tyce. Did you forget the internet was forever? Your suitcase dance from the top 6 show was a direct ripoff of this one from SYTYCD Ukraine….and you knew about it, BECAUSE YOU JUDGED IT. You were THERE. And then go on the post-show interview and not give the original choreographer any sort of credit and act like you came up with this entirely out of your own head? That’s low, dude. Really low. But don’t worry, the internet is here. We’re here to help.

(Dance starts at 2:06.)

He even copied the bit where she grabs the suitcase with her feet!

Yoga for the Splits

Print this out and practice these poses everyday to gain flexibility for the splits. Start by holding each pose for 30 seconds on each side. Work your way up to 1-3 minutes as your muscles start to open up. When you’re ready to try the splits use a block or pillow under your front leg for support until you feel ready to go without.
