DDs group have been working aerials for the past month but shes the only one not to have made one yet (working them on fast track). She has good flight, but as soon as her legs hit into splits, she touches her finger tips down.
She doesn't need to, it just seems like muscle memory. She can't keep her arms tucked up and away from the ground. Also, her hips aren't rotating quite enough as she drifts to the left on landing. Had her in floods of tears after training yesterday and she was so defeated it all. Shes watched the videos of her doing it so she can see where it's going wrong, but it doesn't seem to help.
Has anyone got any tips they can recommend, as starting to think we just need another way of explaining it to her for it to click. Thanks
