floor routine

On floor, is the dismount classified as the last element performed or the last salto performed? Just choreographing a new floor routine and this has totally escaped my memory! It is because at certain levels here it is the last acro element, regardless of whether there is a jump or leap after...

So i was reading about floor routines on the site and it doesn't seem rare for gymnasts to pay upwards of $300 for a floor routine, is this the norm at your gym because here (well in my gym) I have never payed for a routine, music or choreography, and they have all been original (bar my current...

My daughter is a level 7 gymnast in a really tough region. Her and her teammates are currently scoring in the high 8's low 9's. However a 9.0 will not place in our competitions. 9.4 and up are the typically placing scores. We only practice our floor routines twice per week. Each girl...

Hey guys! haven't been on in a while! My first level 5 meet is tomorrow and I was just wondering if you have any advice on being able to breathe through my floor routine, because yesterday was the first time I EVER got through my level 5 floor routine with dance and skills...I don't know how but...

What are some suggestions or common deductions that we can work on to get my daughter from a mid 8 score to 9's? Her coach has been very supportive about her progression but not specific about how she can improve. Any help is appreciated.

I haven't done this in forever, so I hope I can figure out how to embed it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_c0sRLSvYs&feature=youtu.be When I moved the video from my camcorder to computer, it split it into 5 different parts and each skipped a tiny bit, especially between the last two so...

I have girls that can do this skill with perfectly straight legs, but when their feet touch the ground they "bounce" a little. I'm wondering how that "bounce" would be deducted? Would it be better to have them drop to a bent leg bridge with no bounce? Of course, I have already focused on...

In my efforts to become a more educated observer of the sport, I have come across a term describing the hand position in the back extension roll as being "staged". I have NOT been able to figure this one out, and I don't really want to bug my daughter's coach. It's also a 0.10 deduction on...

I was browsing on Gymnastike and spotted these and thought the coaches might be interested. It talks about the details of the routine and where judges take deductions and what they expect to see. Part 1 -...

So i've decided what song i wanted to use as my floor routine music but have not been able to find it to order anywhere. I was wondering if someone would be able to edit it for me. I want the Social Network theme and can provide the entire sountrack if someone is willing to help me. Thanks.

My DD has just picked out her music and will be getting a floor routine for the first time. The coach said she will have someone choreograph her routine, but I know we do not have choreographers per se in the gym. My DD does take dance classes on Saturdays not through the gym and does have the...

DD is competing L6 this season. She's rocking her core skills, but she's always been a little lacking in presentation and poise (in particular her arm positions). She has it in her head that she wants to do a "muscle pose" with her arms at the end of the routine. The coaches have said they...

Hi guys! I love to watch gymnastics videos from Youtube. One day I found a floor routine video that was posted a couple of years ago. The British gymnast on video was just 9 year-old when doing this routine. I absolutely love the way she works with the music. I also think that the music choice...

Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to get your first level 7 floor routine down? My dd's going to have a little over a month from the time she gets her music/choregraphy to her first meet this season. There seems to be a lot of "favorites" being played because so many of the moms work...

Alex got her floor routine choreographed on Monday. It is still in the rough stages but you get an idea of what it will look like. She did not do any of the tumbling or leap passes in the runthrough. Best of all Alex LOVES it!!:cloud9: http://www.youtube.com/my_videos?feature=mhee

Ok DD got her new floor routine today. I think it will be a good fit for her. Its very rough right now and the Leaps and tumbling passes weren't performed but here is a link to see what she has so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJEV3dFdEg Remember she was only about 1 1/2 - 2 hours...

My daughters just had their end-of-the year gym show. My oldest daughter had a solo routine. She was so excited about it. She was counting down the days until the show. Now she is sad because she's on a 3-week break from gym practice. She was promoted to level 4, and is so excited, and can't...

i have a question can my floor routine consist of these 6 passes: Front Handspring Lay Full to Front Lay & Rudi roundoff to a back 1 1/2 double pike arabian double front double arabian double or triple twist the reason i ask because im getting confused thinking a arabian double front is the...

Ok so i have relatively clean skills but everyone tells me i need to show my routine off more, I don't have scores to tell you as my first comp is in 2 weeks and i really want to sell my floor routine and make it look amazing! I am a very shy performer and don't really like attention I am...
