    Back Hip Circles On Bars

    I'm really trying to get my back hip circles, but once I start to swing around the bar and my back is almost parallel to the floor, I drop down and if my hands aren't still on the the bar, I land on my back. How do I stay on the bar the whole time?

    front hip circle technique

    My dd is competing level 4 this year. She can complete her front hip circle almost every time, but it is not "pretty".

    Why a front hip circle?

    Ok, well i was thinking about it the other day and can't figure out WHY there is a front hip circle in American routines due to the progressions surely the aim of a learning the kip (in part) is to be able to get a decent cast out of it and i am no coach so i am probably entirely wrong but i was...
