Fun Friday Flip
Let’s turn things upside down today.
Flip things upside-down on Friday.
To find the side-to-side feeling and
resistance of beats, practice them by lying down on the floor with the legs
straight, feet in the air. It also allows you to see what’s going on as well as
feel it – always helpful. You can do these practice beats with the feet flexed
and then pointed.
Start by opening the legs sideways to a
relatively wide position, then bring them back to a nice upside-down fifth,
feeling resistance as you do so. Keep decreasing the width of the outward
position until it is where it will be when you are actually jumping. Always
maintain the side-to-side action (never around).
Any time your beats aren’t working well,
flip it! Lie down on the floor and hone the beats that way.
