My daughter is struggling with the timing of her bail. She does a pirouette into it and was able to do it consistently for several months, but now is having trouble slowing down the swing into the bail. She feels like she's falling out of the pirouette and generates the type of swing she'd have for a giant instead of having a swing that will allow her to land on top of the bar. So far none of her coaches have been able to give her a correction that has clicked. Any tips or ideas?
 
Break at the shoulders first… then the hips. Work about 5x the bail timers as bails. Do them on a deck with no bar at first. Have a coach spot them on blocks between the bars.
 
Here is a good video showing the shoulder break…
