My daughter saw a video of the new Level 3 (old L4) routine today and said that the music sounded like fairy music and that she thinks there is too much ballet. She doesn't care much for it. I'm hoping that she'll like it better once she actually starts learning it.
If you've spoken to the coach, hopefully the problem will stop. DD's gym has several classes a week for all the levels of rec classes and a couple of different options for their preteam level, if the problems don't stop and it is possible, then you might consider moving your daughter to a...
My daughter went through several coaches when she was in rec classes, sometimes it was because a coach would leave or there was a schedule change and other times it was because my daughter moved up to another level and different coach.
Does your gym have "open gym" where the kids can go and...
Prayers that you get rain soon and the fires die out. We've had more than our share of rain here in Florida this week, I wish I could send some of it your way!

My daughter started gymnastics in a preschool program at age 4 and for quite a while it looked to me like they were just playing most of the time, but she was having fun. Over a few years I could see that what looked like playing to me was actually building up to skills she learned later. Her...
My daughter was 4 when she start gym and stayed in rec classes until after she turned 8. She's always been a happy, talkative and silly kid, that's just her personality. Sometime between 7 and 8 is when she started becoming more focused. In fact, her coach recently commended her on the...
What level is your daughter? My DD is Level 4 and trains 3 hrs/3x week, the L5's at her gym train 4 hrs/3x week and it goes up from there. My daughter does gymnastics and scouts, but her scout meetings are only twice a month so it isn't much. My husband and I have always encouraged her to try...
I agree with TXmom about this thread being a good reminder of why posting too much information isn't always a good thing. I've been on here about a year, have found a wealth of information posted by other members and have enjoyed hearing about the progress that everyone's kids are making. I...
