    Women Cutting floor music

    Was going to reply this morning and saw that you've already got a response, but I can cut it for you as well! Audacity is also a nice program where you can fiddle around with different cuts and permutations, in case you haven't tried. Feel free to DM.

    [Meet] Hiring a Choreographer question?

    It should be fine. My mom choreographed all my routines and she had no gymnastics background, just a lot of dance training. You can also tweak the choreo yourselves if your daughter or her coach realizes something isn’t working.

    Women Some technical questions for an upcoming novel about gymnastics - please help!
