So I need some opinions. My 9 yr old DD is competing 7 this year. Last year, she had a cute floor routine for Level6/Gold. At the end of August, HC gave us the option of keeping last years floor routine, and just upgrading the tumbling, or picking new music and learning a new routine. My DD chose to keep her music and routine. It was cute but not too little kid cutesy, and it really fit her personality. It also scored well.
I find out yesterday that several parts of her routine have been changed...for the worse. She had several really nice dance moves changed to something weird and awkward. I asked DD why HC did this, and she said because 2 other girls now have the same cute moves. These other 2 girls have brand new routines.
I feel like my DD should be allowed to keep the moves in. The moves go with the Spanish feel of her music. Now her routine looks strange. I feel like the option of keeping The SAME routine was not honored.
What would you do? I am going to approach HC about this. She gave DD this option to keep same routine right in front of me. I strongly feel like my DD has priority over these moves. Had I known her routine would have been picked apart and changed, I would've had her choose new music! She competes in 1.5 months.
