Quick question, mostly out of curiosity. My DD is being coached to change her hand placement on her beam BHS-step out. She is a lefty in gymnastics (in all gymnastics skills she favors her left side -- tumbling, splits, leaps, etc. -- although she is a "righty" when it comes to everything else in life). All last season she performed her BHS leading with her left hand. She is now being directed to lead with her non-dominant gymnastics hand, so her right. Something about squaring her shoulders maybe? She is not entirely clear on the mechanics of it all, but is pretty upset because it means she is basically relearning her beam BHS. She says it's hard to change it now. Curious if there is a general "rule" or consensus about hand placement on the beam BHS... Thanks
