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