DD (age 6, level 4) had her third meet today. During the bars she looked over to the side after almost every trick. During the cast for the dismount she is looking off to the side. I asked her later who she was looking at; I thought maybe she was needing reassurance from the coach. She said that she wanted to make sure the judge was paying attention to her. I am still laughing from that hours later!!!
 
That's funny! That happens to me when I'm judging school and recreational comps - the nervous kids that look over at you the whole time like they're scared you will bite. I feel so sorry for them being so nervous. I haven't seen it happen when judging a competitive comp though, well, not yet anyway.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
