How to learn the splits in 2 weeks?

Any ideas? I'm the only girl in my dancing class that can't do them. And i think it would help me with my plie's(my teacher says i don't push my legs out far enough).How to learn the splits in 2 weeks?
I used to be a cheerleader and couldn't do the splits for 3 months then figured out how to do them.





First take 10 minutes and stretch, stretching warms up the muscles and allows them the ability to expand and stretch to the elasticity to be able to do the splits.





After the first 10 minutes practice the splits for 20 minutes, but don't overdue it. This can lead to muscle tear which in some muscles, can't heal. Just bend to the point that it hurts just a little bit but not too painful.





The last 10 minutes is time for a cool down and your back to just stretching, again to the point where it hurts but not too painful.How to learn the splits in 2 weeks?
Find a wall in your house with no furniture against it. Lie with your back on the floor, bum against the wall, and , keeping your legs completely straight and against the wall, let them fall apart as far as gravity will allow it. Hold the stretch for one song, relax, repeat several times a day.
well, you need to do it everyday and the more you do it the more flexible you get. the more flexible you get the easier it will be to do it. good luck, have fun, and don't hurt yourself.
I took ballet years ago. I don't think you need to know how to do the splits to do a better Plie. Just do stretching exercises everyday. You must do them in class, right?? Practice, Practice.
you must stretch your legs everyday and try to split little by little at first try one leg at a time then bend your body going towards your leg


then stay that position for 8 seconds then try the other leg then stretch up and try splitting your legs dont have to be straight because your just a beginner but you can straight those legs in no time if you will practice really well...good luck with the splitting
Sounds stupid but you have to practice and practice until your leg muscles get used to that position - it will hurt but you will do it. Don't give up
it took me 3 days to learn


only cuz i spent most of the day stretching





dont push yourself too hard,cause you will feel the pain the next day if you do





trust me its not a good feeling





so stretch,but dont over stretch


i guess thats all i can tell you
Can't 'learn' the splits. It's all about training to be able to the splits.





Flexibility is what is required. Stretch everyday to increase flexibility but not sure you will get there in two weeks!
Don't just practice doing the splits, though. also stretch your legs in the usual ways, for some minutes before doing the splits. you know.. reaching for your toes on the ground, using the barre, etc.
Push yourself to the ground while practicing the splits. Practice for 5 hours a day. That's what I did, and after one day, I could do the splits! It was like a miracle!
its not a matter of learning, its a matter of doing it a million times, streaching the muscles, im sure your teacher is right. tuck your butt in and put your knees straight out to the sides to do your plies , did ballet for years when younger, then went to bellydancing a few years ago.
it seems pretty impossible in 2 weeks
best way is get at LEAST 30mins of practing doing splits even though it doesnt look lik one keep on trying! day by day ull stretch farther u gotta trust me on dis it works! jst b patient and lik i said 30mins a day if it hurts get up losen ur muscles up and then try it again over and over for 30mins
you need to stretch your legs alot and just try to do it. i know because i used to take jazz dance when i was a kid and in the beginning of the clas we would stretch and then do the splits. i was the first in my class that could do it. the others just kept on practicing every week and soon they knew how to do it too.
