Women Turn series on beam

[munchkin3]

hello everybody!
My DD has been playing around with some turn series.....she was confused on the direction of the second turn.....so she begins with the good leg full turn, and then steps immediately into the bad leg turn, which naturally feels like she should turn in the opposite direction. Is this correct??

I think thats how that works because you turn towards the leg thats on the beam...hope that helped!

I have seen both, I think it's both also allowed. I've also trained both, I liked the bad leg turn in the same direction the most (like a ballet turn)

I have no idea what’s normal or correct, but your question reminded me of this gold medal routine from 2016. Check out her turn series at :42. I bet your daughter will love seeing it!
