Hello, and welcome to the Chalkbucket! This is a really old thread, you'd probably be a lot better off starting a new thread to ask these questions, you'll get more responses that way!
A girl on my team used this music and did very haunting/spooky choreography. It's not "scary" but it is spooky/dark, and it always made people turn and watch when they heard it, as it is very intense. http://floorexpressmusic.com/full-length-demos/CD2212-Run%20This%20Town-Demo.mp3
Yes! I forgot to mention that while I am running/organizing the class, the owner of the community center is also helping out with the class, she just has no experience with gymnastics.
I'm volunteering at a community center in my city that aims to provide low-income families with good child care. The majority of these children are children of immigrants who do not speak English very well.
My job is to come in twice a week and teach a one hour gymnastics class to these kids...
I think one of the great things about the game is that it IS very possible to be walking around enjoying the outdoors while playing, without being glued to the screen at all. You can keep your phone in your pocket, go for a walk, and just pull it out every once in a while when it vibrates to...
I know exactly how you feel! I struggled with flyaways on and off for years, even after I knew I was fully capable of them. What helped me was to have a visual cue to let go. My coach would put her arm up, and when I saw it, I knew to let go of the bar. The hardest part is letting go! You can...
I always had the mindset of, if you really enjoy and excel at a subject, take it at the high level. In high school I was recommended for all higher level classes, but chose only to take the ones that I was actually interested in. Does she enjoy English language arts or science? I found that the...
When I was younger, something very similar to this happened on my team. I think it was less "contagious," and more a result of the age of everyone on the team. We were all around the same age and just going through growth spurts. I honestly think we all would have had the mental blocks...
My competitive gymnastics years are behind me, but I agree, this definitely helps! Fabric softener is a huge no no for wristbands. (Although as slippery as the cotton ones can be after washing, the neoprene ones always felt even more slippery.)
Ditto on the making sure you are washing them regularly. I used to get wrist rips when my wristbands got hard/too chalky...I hated how it felt when they were freshly washed, though, (I swear it made them slippery!) so I understand not wanting to wash them more. I had teammates who used the...
Wow!! Huge congratulations to her! It's great to see hard work and determination pay off, especially after so long. She's an incredible gymnast, you must be so proud!:D
I did gymnastics all the way through high school, but started outdoor track my sophomore year as well. I'm now on a D3 track team at college, and I'm having a blast! I do pole vault and high jump. I know lots of girls who transitioned from gymnastics to track and are doing extremely well. One of...
I had a stress fracture in my foot awhile back...It started as just a random, really sharp pain in my foot when I was walking to school. I got an MRI, sure enough, it was a stress fracture. After a week it stopped hurting, and after two weeks I was back in the gym doing (limited) tumbling. No...
