Just keep going over them. I had that problem after not practicing for a while. But i started doing them again and again...not going into a full split at once, but easing into it. i eventually got it again.

Simply practicing your splits, as well as other stretches that work your turnout, should help. A really good one is one where you put ankle weights on, and then you lie down with your legs against a wall and let them open up, with the weights pulling them out to the sides. Hold for as long as you can take it.

Here is a unique step by step guide
1) put on some good music. good meaning your favorite
2) go down into split postion and hold for 2 or more songs. it helps if you sing along th at way you arnt thinking about pu shing your self
3) do this everynight and you will have split back in no time

there's a strech we use to do when I was on a dance team, but I don't know that it works or not b/c I already had my splits prior.
-simply go down to your left or right splits then bend your front leg in (like an "L" shape) & keep the back leg stright hold for 30+ seconds then go into your splits and hold the them for 30+ seconds then repeat w/ the other leg

try to do the splits. In my dance class at school we had a pro teacher come in for a while and when we stretched, she told us to do the splits even though only like 2 people can. just try to do the splits even if you have to hold yourself up in a straightened out lunge position with your arms holding you up. I can't do splits and that's what I had to do.

Get in your split and keep pushing yourself down. It really helped me.

just do them everynight before you go to bed for 2 min. this will make it easer as you go along, also you should make up a strech routine to your fav. song
