Hi all. I have a question about the level 4 floor routine. My daughter is new to compulsories and just started learning the floor routine during a private lesson this weekend. She has mixed dominance, but now I'm not sure if she is learning the correct side. Can someone tell me which side of the routine you think she should be learning to minimize deductions? She competed xcel in the past and mixes her dance and acro skills between left and right.
For dance skills she does the following naturally: leap/sissone (right), split (right), full turn (left). She cannot do a split on her left at all (it's about 5 inches off the floor). And she cannot leap with her left very well.
For acro skills she does the following naturally: ROBHBH (left hand down first), back walkover (right leg kicks up first), back extension roll (right leg lunges forward and left leg is in the back), front handspring (hurdles right).
In real life, she is a lefty. The coach is teaching her the lefty routine. Does this sound right? I trust the coach, but I want to make sure I'm not spending $$ on these privates and she's just going to have to learn the routine the other way later on. Thanks!
