HOW DO I GET A HIGHER TOE TOUCH?

• I am trying out for my high school poms team next year and im really nervous! I have been stretching and practicing alot and because of that i got my right and left splits! Im also taking a leaps and turns and poms class. But I cant seem to get higher toe touches! My to touches are awful no matter how much i practice! Ive reasearched ideas but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on how I could get them higher in just a few months?? P.S I also cant seem to get my center split which i stretch for a minute every day. Any ideas on that? ( I take 6 dance classes and am on a team..I have been dancing for about 5 years but havent gotten into poms since about a year ago)

• Answer:

  I don't even practice and I can touch my toes. That being said, you want to always be careful when you're donig things. Don't worry about reaching that, what you should be focusing on is practicing what you do know. You can still be accepted to the team, based on your other strengths. In the meantime you can continue to improve your toe touch, but just improve on and practice on the other things, that's MORE important. Your auditions need 6to be the best they canb e.
