Yes, you should always stretch before doing the splits. Actually, before you start any of your dancing it is good to warm up and stretching is a part of it. This will help you not only "perform" to the best of your ability and allow for greater mobility, but also help prevent injury.

Without proper warm up and stretching you can tear the muscles and ligaments doing the splits. Professional dancers stretch and warm-up for at least an hour before getting into their vigorous dance routines.

Yes stretch for a total of five minutes. Stretch you hamstrings, quads, calves, low back, upper back, stomach, and arms. Hold each position for a minimum of 30 seconds. This will help you to not pull a muscle when you do a split and it will make you more flexible.

Yeah, its always good to stretch before you start exercising before you do any major type of activity or work out. Not doing so can result in sore muscles and you can even hurt yourself.

That means you're not as flexible as you should be. I've been in martial arts for 5 ~ 6 years, and doing splits should not hurt you, not then, or the next day.

You should be stretching before any type of workout, it will minimize the chances of muscle tears and injuries and help alleviate soreness after the fact.
