My daughter had a great floor routine choreographed last year, at great expense when she was in level 7, our floor coach at the time had made the decision that all optional routines would only have 2 tumbling passes, so that's how it was choreographed. My daughter had to have surgery before the season began and never got to use it and our floor coach left at the end of last season so they had one of the other coaches fill in and add to everyone's floor routine. My daughter didn't let us see her routine until her first competition, actually her second, her first was to move up to level 8...when I saw her routine I thought she must have forgotten it, it wasn't the routine I paid so much for...they had taken an edgey hip hop routine with sass and attitude and made it 3 quick passes with some movements. There's no flow, no life, it's not the kind of song you should smile and be bright and happy through but there's no hip hop to the movements anymore either.
I said I was going to let my 12 year old daughter deal with it, it is her floor routine, but I feel I should let the coaches know how upset I am with this, it's ruined all chances of her getting a good AA score, she was lucky enough to score a 9.05 once, but usually gets around a 8.85 even when she does her best with this routine, (in past seasons her floor avg is a 9.45)
The thing that really gets to me, they didn't offer us the option of having the original choreographer come add to the routines, they used the new coach, 2 months out of college to do it and told us about it after the fact!
Sorry, I needed to rant, I hope someone can understand....I'm just so frustrated, I want to scream!!!!!
