• Answer:

  Make sure you're jumping with enough height to allow you to pull in tighter and complete your rotations. Get your right leg through as if you were going to go up stairs, 2 at a time. An exercise that works well for this is using a steady chair or bench, step straight up onto the chair on your right foot and hold it (staying on your right foot). Doing this will ensure that your getting your knee/leg through straight -- if it's not going through straight, you won't be able to hold the position while standing on the chair. As you know from your single, getting your leg through also gets you the height. Now doing your double, even more height is needed to get you more time to pull in and rotate. I hope that little exercise helps! :)
