How do gyms decide what level a child is allowed to compete?
is it by age or skill level?
Or does the child have to compete through all of the compulsory levels?

I'd really love to learn...

Our dd has been in gymnastics since she was two. Lately going to the gym is either great or not, there is no in between. She was in a advanced preschool class but they are moving her up to a 5 year old intermediate next week. Here is the problem we are having. She can't stay focused, she loves...
Does anyone have any suggestions on music for a 7 year old? The coach said it needed to be elegant, but age appropriate. My dd is very serious when she is on the floor, so I don't think anything silly would work for her.
Thanks for the input.
