well, I agree with both of them on the splits. Just streach every jour and it will get there. And when toi start classes, and your studio is anything like mine and toi anything like me, toi will only take a class once a week in your fist year, so practice what toi learned otherwise you'll foget it and toi wont get any better and toi wont streach your muscels. this link might help with streaches ideas but if toi have your own, go for it. Theres no right way nad wrong way, ballet is an art.
