hey! i think theres an easy soulution to your jump problem and thats simply practice. If you take atleast 10 mins everyday and sit in a split and stretch it will help, and after you stretch you should try to do at least 25 jumps of each. Even if they are bad then keep going it will help. But make sure while your jumping point your toes and keep your legs straight. Its a lot easier to get perfect form when your first trying out then it is after you already have a jump. Also if you have access to a trampoline you should try practicing jumps on that becuase you can get the height that you need and it will help you get a feel of what your jumps should look like.
as for the facials i would say do anything that comes natural to you. Practice in the mirror lime cute little faces. Also what i found that judges like is if you say some of the words that are in the music, but put attitude to it. And believe it or not judges like it when u wink at them! just what ever you do DONT STICK OUT YOUR TOUNGE its not pretty believe me!
well i hope this helped you!!

hey Green eyed girl.
the improve you toe touch make sure your prep is very strong and has alot of bounce. some good facials to do are winks, huge smiles, mysterious faces and blow kisses.

to improve your toe-touches, u need 2 strech ALOT b4 u throw ur jump. Pratice on a trampline. Make sure u have strong stomach musules!!!!!!!!!!!1(do lots of v-ups, leg lifts, and hollow bodies) Also visulize yourself w/ a good jump. U might wanna try straping ankle weights 2 ur ankles(start w/ 1-2 pounds on each ankle) 2 make ur toe-touches higher. Squat jumps also help. Makee sure u smile and point ur toes while throwing ur jump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helped

Even though the original post is about 3 years old I will respond since it has been brought back to the top.

The information presented here earlier is very good.


I would add that some subtle chin lofts and head nods can be effective as well.
