Yet another question...lol..
Again..level 4 USAG, young 7
Coach says she looks sooo pretty doing her routines BUT she's "TOO artistic"..LOL..is there such a thing?
She explained it to me and it makes perfect sense, she's lacking "the lines", she's "flowing" too much.
I always told her dad, she looks like she's dancing up on the beam!!! This isn't ballet! LOL
She's never taken ballet...but I was a dancer and sometimes I think...maybe she was born to dance and not to bounce haha..but that's another story!!
For now I'm wondering...
Normally I hear Ballet can go hand in hand with gymnastics BUT when part of her problem is lacking the "lines" meaning, the arms need to be STRAIGH UP, she needs to POSE a little longer than she is etc. I'm thinking ballet might actually HURT HER? As her coach was showing me how she wants her to stand from the mount onto the beam (arms STRAIGHT right behind her ears)...I'm thinking if I went from ballet to gymanstics I would have a really hard time!! I notice how STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN they have to be sometimes and wonder if I had tried back then how the two would go hand in hand.
However, in things like her legs where she's bending her knees, balance, walking on the balls of her feet, strengthening etc...it would help wouldn't it?
I didn't ask her coach this...bc I'm just now thinking about it...
Is ballet always a good thing to add to their training?
TIA!
