This is how I should look when I do a leap in second. With the hips down to the feet turn out, the upper body is lengthened with a straight line across the arms.

In this photo my flexibility on my right side is very strong. However, my foot has sickled creating bad alignment straight down the leg. As the foot has turned inwards this creates pressure on my knee, making the hip rise off the floor. 
To correct this the foot must be lengthened which helps the leg straigthen turning the hip underneath.]]> 2019-04-02 13:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347606597 Jumps jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347713167 (January)
I have always struggled to correct my leaps in second creating that illusion of both of my legs snatching up at the same time. This has been a big improvement as I am able to get the height off the floor to developpe the leading leg out straight quick enough to have the following leg up after. With the hips turned out and the body up right creating the power to up than forward.]]> 2019-04-02 16:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347713167 Isolation jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347713239 (November)
This is a exercise from one of the beginning isolation in Jazz. In my results from the current assessment this was one of my strongest areas.
With the arms out straight creating one long line. The torso moves from left to right, with the legs in a slight bent position. Alignment of the arms reach over creating a stretch of the side of the body transferring this stretch down to the leg, stretching the hamstring.]]> 2019-04-02 16:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347713239 Pirouettes jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347713363 (November)
Pirouettes are one of my weakest areas of technique.
As in the photo I have corrected my alignments helping me turn on the rise. 
The supporting leg is pulled up from the knee which a high instep creating the leg to lock in one position. With the other leg in full retire by the knee and turned in. My arms are not too close to the body as if they were this would balance out the weight in the upper body, so by having them in a jazz first creates a held position to wipe the arms into. With the head spotting wiping from the same position.]]> 2019-04-02 16:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/347713363 Kicks jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/348884590 (November)
In this video I am demonstrating a short kick secquence from Jazz. This shows the extensions of my legs through a held position.
However, when going into kicks in second I struggle to keep the hip out as the leg slightly creeps forward into a more comfortable position which the alignment is wrong.]]> 2019-04-05 12:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/348884590 Flat back jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/348885005 (January)
In this picture my flat back alignment is wrong, even though my back is flat I am leaning back onto my heals. This puts pressure onto the back of my knees and into my hips. 
To correct this my weight should be over my toes keeping the toes and hips in line with full extension from my fingers down my back.]]> 2019-04-05 12:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/348885005 Source 16 jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/349074618 2019-04-05 19:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/349074618 Source 17 jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/349075208 2019-04-05 20:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/349075208 Flat back correction. jadenethompson00 https://padlet.com/jadenethompson00/8qcc0fqcsw0/wish/349084611 (January)
