How do you become as flexible as a contortionist?

The main thing is to keep practising everyday and NEVER GIVE UP. Work on your flexibility in the morning and afetr a shower or bath as your muscles are still warm. To become as flexible most people are born with it so its practicially easy for them. But other old stiff people who want to become it usually start doing yoga or gymnastics to get flexible as fast. Or you can do any martial art like karate to get flexible. After you get extremely flexible i would suggest start getting lessons on contortionist lessons. If your still young then maybe your mom can get you into it or call a place or something. I hoped this helped. The only thing that I want to add to the top answer is that the younger that you start to work on your flexibility the better. When you are younger you are more agile. Also every time that you exercise stretch for a half hour before and after. Breath and relax when you stretch.

What happens during a ghost dance?

The ghost dance in the Sioux (Lakota) Tribe involved joining hands with men and women and dancing to the left in giant circle. They followed the patter of the sun setting. Some people from the tribe would be so filled with the "spirit" that they would fall on the ground from being in a trance. Of course, they original prophet that brought the religion to them did not teach the dance this way and taught it completely differently, but because the dance has been interpreted in so many different ways, the original way is not known (and in fact, the whole religion was interpreted differently by the Sioux). Eventually the prophet stopped preaching because he didn't want the religion messed with anymore.

How do you become a better sprinter?

Before training or competing, you must take the body from a resting state to a working state. Jog at least two laps, then stretch. No matter how much stretching you do, it is important that you hold your stretches. Don't bounce.

The placement of the blocks can be critical to a quick start. Some sprinters stagger the blocks too far apart or too close together thus losing power with an inefficient push-off. Every runner is different. Block placement may have more to do with the length of one's calf. Repeated experimentation with timing over 20 meters should determine the best stagger position.
