⚡️Learning a ring/ scorpion pivot⚡️ These are a few things to take into consideration:
⭐️Like for most pivots, it's important to get into the shape FAST! This means you need to kick the legs fast and with good alignment to transfer the weight into your relevé.
⭐️ Do not drop the chest forward! You will fall out of the balance and will need to step forward.
⭐️A good preparation is key! Forth positions with a nice turnout in the front and all muscles activated prior to starting the spin is so important. #

Before we start cleaning up any skill with a backbend, the first thing we address is the proper engagement of the back. During a backbend, the upper back needs to be active. Beginners tend to put all their load in their lumbar spine (lower back). The weight needs to be distributted evenly though the torso. Overuse of the lower back will lead to back and hip pain during and after training, so be sure to strengthen your upper back and remember to USE it.

The magic of the pliè! The Plié/ landing position is essential. It is needed to land leaps safely and with control, to do high throws, and to get the technique for fouettés, etc... while most of the time in rhythmic we plié in parallel, working on them turning out is very important so we work on the deep rotator muscles, which are needed for so many skills.
Body tension and posture needs to be there BEFORE the plié starts: Glutes fully working, heels pressed down against the floor engaging hamstring tendon, Achilles tendon and inner thigh.
The extension and contraction helps to strengthen the tendon and with application, the jump capacity can be improved.

⚠️IMPORTANT NOTES FOR YOUR DA'S ⚠️ When it comes to DA's with rolls as a base, it's important to perform said roll AT THE SAME TIME as the two criterions. In this example, we explain our lovely gymnast Julia that the roll of the hoop and the wave must be connected. No pauses, no adjustments!
