Stretch for a leg split in ballet by warming up the hamstrings and hips with all of the plies, and do a hamstring stretch starting with the knees on the floor and moving in to a split stretch. Stretch the hamstring forward and keep the hips warm and open for the splits with help from an experienced dance instructor in this free video ballet lesson.

I am thirteen years old and have never danced/done ballet, but I have alright flexability. I am starting ballet lessons in a little while, but what stretches can I do before I start, so I can catch up with some of the other girls? Is it too late to start competing in dancing? I would be dedicated to practising, but am I too old now?
Also I have nearly done the splits, but I am about 15cm from the floor. I just can’t seem to get all the way! What stretches would be good so I can get the whole way down?
