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