Last year, DD was a first year level 10. She has made great strides after switching gyms during quarantine.
Her skills as a first year 10 were:

My DD has been triggering a vagus nerve response while doing some of her tumbling passes and vault. It is especially bad punching out of front layouts. She says it is really scary because she starts to feel like its hard to breathe then her heart starts beating hard and her throat gets tight...
I really wanted my daughter to use this one, but she chose another piece. It is beautiful and intriguing at the same time with no violin. It would have to be rearranged/cut in order to use it for a floor routine.
