Hi, I'm Lucy Spain here to show you how to do a cheerleading toe touch. A toe touch is
one of the most popular jumps that you will perform in cheerleading. A toe touch is going
to look like this when it's in the air. You want to have your legs spread evenly on both
sides. It's very important to make sure you have your toes pointed. That's going to be
one of the most important things when doing this jump. Your arms are going to be positioned
parallel to your legs, out on each side. There's a couple variations of how you can hold your
arms. You can hold them as fists as I'm demonstrating right now. You could also choose to do blades,
which are going to look like this. And in that sense, it looks as if you're reaching
towards your toes. When you do a toe touch, you want to remember your form which we just
went over, is the most important thing. The height of the jump will come later as you
practice it, but go ahead and make sure that your back is straight, your arms out and your
legs are both even. And we don't want one leg higher than the other. This is what a
toe touch looks like.
When we do our toe touch, we want to make sure after we land that we stick our landing
and pop out of it. One more time.
And that is how you do a cheerleading toe touch.
