    Parents Back Hip Circles

    My 5.5 yo is having problems conquering the back hip circle. Her coach has said she still needs work and she's been working on it for months. I've attached a video of her. Any advice? Thanks! (First time posting a link, hope it works)

    WAG Level 3 Front Hip Circle Deductions...

    Hi there, I'm wondering if it's "better" to compete a front hip circle with bent arms or use the spot in an attempted (but probably failed) front hip circle with straight arms. My daughter can reliably complete a front hip circle with bent arms and equally reliably fail to complete a front hip...

    I have a girl who simply can't do a back hip circle. We've been trying since July! She just throws her had back and never gets back to the bar after her cast.
