Pigeon Pose
Begin by kneeling on the floor. Stretch one leg back as far as possible while keeping your leg firmly against the floor, knee facing down. Bend your front leg and place it on it's side with the foot facing the opposite way (ie if your right leg is in front your foot should be on the left side of your body). Walk your hands back, roll your shoulders back and stick out your chest. Hold this pose for approximately 30 seconds then repeat on the other side. This stretch will help you get into the front splits!
OMGs I love this pose. I am a former dancer myself and even after not dancing for a few years the stretch process is soooo paramount to feeling strong and just normal.
