Hello!
I think I've asked this before but need to hear it again! LoL
my dd just turned 8 last month and just started her level 5 season.
Her level 5 looks like it's starting off just like her level 4.
She ends up with middle of the road scores. I'm always blown away by so many in her age group that start off the season already scoring low to mid 9's. And these are not girls repeating level 5!lol
So here is my question: Her coach always gasps at her beam and her floor..how beatiful they look! but then she says unfortunately judges at this level want to see very sharp (robot) moves. She says my dd's style is prefered at the compulsory levels. And I'm going...hhhhmmm is this her way of keeping her here? Lol
my dd enjoys it very much but they have to put in 22 hrs a week (sort of standard here - region 3) and I'm thinking is it all that necessary?
Are these just stepping stones and she just needs to hang in there?
She works so hard and WANTS to stand on those blocks!!!! Lol
but...I'm not sure what to think! For now..she just keeps trying her best but I am curious.
