To when your dd was a Level 1 or 2? Did she have a hard time getting a handstand?
In Level 1, they just had the girls assume a handstand position against the wall on a wedge mat. But now they are learning actual handstands and dd is struggling a bit. She has done them before, and she was getting them about half the time, but her progress has went backwards a little bit. She will get one leg all the way up and then the other one just comes up a foot or two off the floor. It is actually pretty cute though! LOL
I am in no hurry for her to progress, I am happy as long as she is having fun, I was just curious as to whether this is usually a hard skill for little ones to get?
Maybe it is an issue with getting her legs straight in the air? She still has problems keeping her legs straight in cartwheels and roundoffs sometimes too.
And don't even get me started on the pullover!!! How do these little five year olds on youtube make it look so easy? LOL
She only goes to one 45 minute class a week, so I am guessing it is normal for it to take a while to get the skills as opposed to a gym that trains Level 2s for team though.
