I read the article and I am going to turn it around and say that dance also "insults" gymnastics. My older dd is a dancer and we go to many dance competitions throughout the year. I cringe when I see some of these dancers do their "tricks."
Bent knees, flexed feet, legs all wonky in back handsprings. I wonder if the dance judges judge "tricks/tumbling" in dance routines the same way gymnastics judges judge "dance" in floor routines?
On at vein..... does cheerleading insult both dance and gymnastics?
I have some friends whose daughter do cheer and they say that they get the same kind of criticism from those involved with gymnastics, about their tumbling skills not being performed right, with poor form, lack of safety measures, etc. And I will admit I've seen some things in cheer that made me cringe.
