Which description matches the situation where legs are crossed during a twisting salto?

• A. Incorrect body position/alignment during Dance VP
• B. Leg(s) crossed during salto with twist
• C. Slight hop, small adjustments of feet or staggered feet on isolated acro element or last element in acro pass
• D. Lands with feet further than hip-width apart

Answer: (B)

The main idea is leg alignment during a twisting salto. When you twist, the legs should stay in line with the body, either extended or neatly tucked, without crossing. Crossing the legs creates an off-axis shape, disrupts the rotation, and can make the twist unstable or off-target on the landing. This description specifically labels the fault of leg(s) crossing during a salto with twist, which is distinct from minor foot adjustments or from landing width, both of which relate to other aspects of the movement. To fix it, keep the legs and feet in line with the torso, squeeze the hips and core to prevent crossing, and practice maintaining a clean line through the twist.
