circle

Well, tomorrow is Judge's Cup. The first meet of the season. DD doesn't have her front hip circle yet. She gets to about chest level on the bar, and then can't go any further. Anything I could tell her to help her? Thanks.

DD 4 is soooo close to getting her FHS. We have a bar at home and she practices and practices and practices until I have to make her stop. She just can't quite get it yet. She just doesn't seem to get around enough. She ends in a chin-up position with the bar about upper chest level and she...

My daughter made the back of her leg raw today (age 5.5) working on her mill circle in open gym. When I saw it I made her stop. She was very PO at me for making her stop but then again I have to listen to the whining when she notices how it hurts on the way home in the car. She may be willing...

I know it's just a level one skill LOL. And she only did it twice the other day, and her body was not straight. But she was scared of that skill, and I was so proud when she started trying. And then yesterday she got around twice! We don't think the bars coach saw. She did it early in bars...

Hello! I've been working on a transistion from the high bar to low bar/release move, it's called something like the sole circle release move. I prefer to call it the squirrel move :] It reminds me of a flying squirrel, or something like that hahaah. If you are hanging on the high bar facing the...

Help!! I need some really good advice on front hip circles. I can do one however the whole time I am in a tucked position. I was reading another post about a Drill on how to improve front hip circles, but as much as I try I am still tucked going around the bar! I make sure to sqeeze my legs...

Energym Music is going to have a booth at Circle of Stars in Indianapolis next week. If you're there, please stop by and say "hi". You'll be able to listen to some brand new floor music that we haven't even released yet. We'll have some sort of give-away to sign up for too. Last year we...

Some of the girls in my group are just starting to work on vault and I am having a devil of a time. They seem to get the concept, but it seems that no matter what drills I have them do they just don't get it. The first problem is their lack of arm circle. The just run right up onto the board...

This may sound super silly but I am having troubles finding the right place to spot on a Straddle on Sole Circle dismount. We just haven't done them till this point. I have taught them in the past but I have some girls that are having troubles gaining the confidence to get their feet on. I...

Ok I had a lapse in ability, I used to be able to correctly execute a front hip circle, by this i mean I came up with elbows only slightly bent and in a graceful rythm of sorts, Now my arms keep bending and my bodies awkwardly supported on my stomach when ever I come back up??? I havent done...

DD started working on her mill circle on Monday. It's one of those things I see and can't imagine she'll ever get it. The good news is she's only 3 years old so she'll have so many years to get it. Her gym doesn't compete until level 4 and she has a late December birthday so she'll have a long...
