Question
Thank you Kaitin for clearing that up.  I was reading about how to do the splitz and one of the stretches was a butterfly stretch.  I know this one well so thank you for the explaination.

The text above is a follow-up to ...

-----Question-----
Would you explain what the butterfly stretch is?
-----Answer-----
Hey Laura,
 The butterfly stretch is sitting on the ground then putting the bottoms of your feet together making your legs into a diamond on the ground . . . try to push your knees all the way to the ground while still keeping the bottoms of your feet together. This doesn't really explain why you are asking this question so if you could explain this further I can be more helpful . . . so leave me a question back and I will be glad to help you further.
Sincerly,
   Katlin

THANKS!!! .. . Hope this helps

Expertise

I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.
