| Jumps |
| * Before you go into your jump, make sure you have enough plie to help you get higher off the floor. |
| * When you are off the floor and into your jump, make sure your feet and legs are straight. |
| * When you start to leave the floor push with your feet to make them pointe better. |
| * Make sure your arms are steady and not flopping around. |
| * When you come down, come down through your feet: Come down through the ball of your foot first and then put down your heel down. This will allow you to have a softer landing. |
| * When you land also make sure you land in a plie and with your body up straight and tall. |
| * Also make sure your knees are pressed back and that your knees are over your toes. |
| * Last but not least, when you jump look up. This will allow you to go up higher in the air. |
