    How to NOT get your foot stuck doing turns on floor?

    This might be a silly question but bear with me :rolleyes: lol I find that when doing spins/turns/pirouettes on floor, my foot gets "stuck" and stops spinning after about a 1/2 turn. My toes get caught and it just stops the rotation completely. I can do double turns easily on other surfaces...

    Bars - Blind Change/Turns/Front Giants

    My DD competed last season as a 11 yr old Level 8, her bar routine had the basic 2 backward giants into dismount which seemed very strong.

    Sticky Turns

    So I have noticed a problem with my turns on beam. Its not so much a balance issue, its a feet sticking to the beam issue, making it really hard to actually turn. Aside from the shoes, any other ways to alleviate this problem? Or should I just suck it up and tear up the bottom of my feet...

    full turns!

    I don't know about you, but I know a lot of people who have or have had trouble w/sticking full turns on beam. It's an embarassing skill to fall on, yet hard to master. Last summer, when I found out I was moving to level six, my parents bought me a four-foot low beam. I did full turns on it...
