    Parents Anyone have kids that have moved from gymnastics to cheer?

    I found this thread when I was about to post a question about cheer--my daughter (currently level 7 JO) is thinking about switching to cheer-the competitive/stunt team at her high school. One concern she has is that it might be too much "sassy" dancing and posturing for her. She loves the...

    T&T in San Jose area?

    Hi My daughter has been doing competitive gymnastics for several year (traditional ?artistic--I don't know the terminology). I am always on the lookout for a plan B in case she decides she wants to try something new, and I feel like she would really enjoy trampoline and tumbling since floor and...
