I've been dancing for 10 years, and I still didn't have my split down, so I decided to work at it and I finally did it!! It's actually really simple. Every night, I would stretch. You know, anything where you can feel the tightness in your leg muscles. Sit and reach, grab your toes, and HOLD IT for 20-30 seconds. The butterfly stretch will stretch your groin and prepare you for the middle splits. Importantly, you should do your splits every night, and hold them, then do other stretches, then do your splits again and try to push a little bit farther down. I used to sit in the splits while watching a movie . . .takes your mind off the pain and makes the time go by faster! Just be careful. Don't try and push too far or you'll pull a muslce. *ow* Good luck!!

The key is to stretch every day and hold each one for at LEAST 30 seconds. What you want to do is use resistence and gravity. Lay on your back and pull your leg up and just hold it. Use a towel or something to pull your leg towards you. Make sure you keep your other leg on the ground and your back flat.
Take pilates if you can. For splits, you need to actually do them. Do lunges.
For a middle split, do them against a wall. Just sit there while you're watching tv or something.
Good Luck!

i got my splits down in about a month(don't know if that's not fast enough or not). first off i get in the lunge position and put my arms on each side of my front leg.i make sure my back leg is straight and i'm putting all my weight on my front leg. i hold that for about 30 seconds (it's hard but worth it). then i do that same thing with my other leg.
After that, i get into the plea(don't know if i spelled it right) position and bring out my left leg. u should be able to feel the stretch on the left thigh. hold it for 20 seconds. then i do the same thing except with my right leg. good luck!
