Burlesque makes me want to cover my ears each time I hear it. I've actually grown to ignore all the overused Nathan Lanier and Lindsay Stirling songs.

my dd's song is a lindsay stirling and we heard one of her songs at my oldest dd's dance comp. we fell in love with both songs. i had never heard it before nor had her coach, when i sent it to her. we heard it maybe 4 times in the bazillion meets we went to last year. she will use it one more year before moving on to a diff song. it fits her personality well.

i love the pirates them song but i have heard that one more at meets. i still enjoy hearing it.
 
I hate babyish songs on older girls who just happen to be very small and look young - even worse when the choreography is cutesy and immature. We had a 13 year old do such a routine last year and I thought it was just cringe. I'd rather see an 8 year old dance to a too mature song than I would a teenager prancing around like a 1st grader - I just think it's really creepy when our sport promotes the attitude of "never grow up - stay 5 years old forever if you can" - you see it in competitive dance too and I also think it's creepy there.
 
All the new routines have been choreographed and everyone's doing dancethroughs -- I was at the gym last night and they had lower level XCels doing them in the upstairs gym and older XCels downstairs. At one point there was a whole string of dueling Lindsey Stirling type pieces and I thought my head was going to explode.
 
Really current songs (=floor music versions thereof, of course) don't seem to be very common here, thank goodness..! We have ONE girl using a somewhat current song, but despite having two teen girls and spending a lot of time in the car it is one I had never heard played on the radio until last season was almost over. I didn't even know it was an actual song, lol, and that remains the one time I have heard it other than in the gym. :)
We hear enough of the popular pop songs at my other DDs dance competitions though.... if I never hear "shake it off" again I will be happy!!

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
