    Parents Dance Moms - Slightly Off Topic

    Did anyone else watch this new show last night on Lifetime? Yowza! The moms were nutty, the teacher was brutally ruthless but a few of those girls seemed pretty talented. We've seen cheer moms, pageant moms and dance moms... I am just waiting for some gym to allow in camera to film gymnastics...

    Parents I don't want to be THAT mom, but .......

    I'm a little frustrated with DD's dance studio right now. DD never gets to do summer dance because gym has always been at the same time. Finally this summer they have something on her off day from gym. The only problem is that it is for 7-9 year olds, DD is 6.5. I figured it wouldn't be a...

    Stages of a Gym Mom - **For Entertainment Purposes Only**

    This was posted a few years ago and originally geared towards Cheer Moms, but I editted it to reflect Gym Moms. Please read with a grain of salt ;). First season: first season gymmie is clueless, and mom is clueless. It's all fun and games. The novelty comes from wearing a leo at a young age...

    Parents Soliciting Advice from BTDT team moms - The gym drama/politics has begun.

    Hi everyone! Bear with me please, as this got fairly long... Some background of gym politics... We are very new to the gym team experience (though DD has been in rec for almost 3 yrs) - DD just began Level 3.

    Parents When one of those kind of gym moms is your friend

    We've all discussed the crazy gym parents who make ugly comments and how to deal with them, but what if they are one of your friends and they are talking about your child? I have a friend at DD's gym who reacted rather ugly at the meet. To give some history our DD's were at the same gym to...

    Level 8 Floor Pass Mom Confusion

    Could someone please give me an example of level 8 floor passes in a routine? I am a 'new' level 8 mom and don't quite understand what my daughter is explaining :o. Level 7 seemed much less complicated. I think she said 1) front handspring, front layout, front tuck(is the tuck optional?) 2)...

    Bella's Mom

    I never did take the time to introduce myself. Oops. Okay, so I'm Bella's mom (shocker, I know). She is a pre-team (level 2.5 is how I like to describe her) 6YO with big blue eyes, bouncy curls, and a dislike of the beam and mill circles. She is very active and has been in "gymnastics"...
