hey,  i am a flyer for highschool and your daughter sounds really hard working.

i used to be a ballerina and aerabesques helped me tremendously, have her put her leg on something thats a little bit taller than her but not too much have her put her left leg on it and have her arch her back it will stretch her arch and her leg at the same time :D

hope i helped..:):)

Katlin, you did not answer this woman's question. It sounds as though she knows more about this skill than you do.



Kathy, her shoe laces should be facing the judges. Her leg should be as high as possible and always straight. Her motion should be in an "ugly T". Have her hit a T motion but then drop it a little. This will make her leg appear higher. Also, as a flier she should never balance. She just needs to stay tight and strong so that her bases can balance her from underneath. And finally, yes her experience as a base will help her as a flier. =)



Good Luck.
