Beam accomplishment

[nicci1999]

So after what feels like FOREVER trying, I got my full turn on beam today! The owner of the gym, who also was a coach for a million and one years, was watching me and came over and gave me some pointers, and BAM, there it was! I was only able to do one, but I did it!

Congratulations, Nicci! Because the skill looks so fluid and easy when done well, I think people don't realize just how difficult it is to learn. Last year, our level 6s drove their beam coach crazy with those darn full turns. Now that you've done one and know how it feels, more successful ones will be sure to follow.

Well done, Nicci! I've recently started trying full turn on floor beam. I'm interested to know, what were the pointers that helped you?

I was wondering that as well. My DD is struggling with this skill - even though she has no problem at all with ballet pirouettes..
