    Women Switching from righty to lefty half way through compulsory

    All of the dance (incl leaps and turns) has to be done the same way. Certain skills can be reversed (as indicated by an asterisk), but not the dance.

    Off Topic Undergarments for meets

Even as an adult, sizing and fit varies SO much in clothing. I...
