After being mind boggled in the heel stretch thread. I wanted to know the correct positions for each flying position we have. Post pictures and explanations please because I'm really interested now!

I've always wondered what the correct position is for arabesques (I probably spelled that wrong). There's so many ways to do them
I was always tou
I was always told that that was the correct way to do a heel stretch.
i 100 percent agree with how you explained the body positions! For arabesques, the chest should be up with the knee facing the crowd. I loved when flyers keep their leg really high in an arabesque while keeping their chest up too! Dropping your chest is just cheating it in my opinion.My question becomes 'When does a heel stretch become a front stretch?' because the way people were describing it, it's essentially a front stretch... When I think front stretch, I think hips square kicking straight forward (like if you're in a split, but you were standing). When I think heel stretch, I think hips square with knee a bit to the side (if you've ever danced, like a side kick in dance, except when we do it we kick forward but it still has that slightly off-to-the-side placement). As in the 'stretch' you see/feel is slightly different. Am I missing something?
So I'm guessing the judges don't care too much if knees are in or out, due to the amount of good teams doing them "wrong"?
It wouldnt be wrong. it would just be called something slightly different.Honestly I don't think there is any wrong or right way to do them. Its just whatever your team does. You just need to make sure everyone on your team does it the same way.
A front stretch is like a heel stretch, but you hold your foot with both hands, and your leg comes up sideways instead of coming up the front. haha sorry if that's hard to understandMy question becomes 'When does a heel stretch become a front stretch?' because the way people were describing it, it's essentially a front stretch...
