OT The Dance Moms Thread!

[crazyredhead]

I would love to see Chloe or Paige model, they have the bone structure for it.

Agree! I also think Kendall is very mod pretty! I remember when they did the magazine shoot I thought she done the best job..

haha so glad that i wont have to ever compete backwalkovers again. i haven't since my gymnastics days. i can't believe i used to do them on the beam...what was i thinking?! i'll stick to handsprings and layouts, please and thank you

They recently added the option to do a backhandspring instead of a back walkover in the level 5 (old level 6) compulsory beam routine to help kids who have back issues w/ the beam backwalkover.

wow i wish that was a thing two years ago! i could've avoided all my back injuries! but it's great to know that USAG is actually taking action to reduce overuse

I can't imagine the pain you experienced!

I can't imagine the pain you experienced!

i look back at it and don't even understand how i told myself i could push through that kind of pain...what was i thinking

 

[oncecoolcoachnowmom]

i can't even imagine the pain that would cause.

total props to level one all star cheer teams. i don't know how you do it. bwo's are just awful imo

I've done privates with kids who are Level 4-5 getting ready for college.

I typically go through progressions of a few skills from all levels during the first private, just so I can see a kid's form/technique in skills before we start on the Level 5 stuff they need to work on/clean up.

You should SEE the faces on some kids when I say "Let's start with a BWO."

They just can't even.

i literally could not even if you asked me to do that haha

There are kids I've worked with who have multiple skills through to layout/full/double whom if life itself depended on executing a BWO would be DEAD. Super dead. It's hilarious.

On the other hand, when I work with Level 2 kids, I tend to notice that those kids with solid BWOs have better BHSs.

I've never been able to do more than a backbone kick over. I'm not able to pick my foot up while falling backwards. Too scary! I don't do anything with my arms in that position anymore (bridge, backbend kick overs) because I have problematic elbows that don't go that way, but even before then I wouldn't be able to do it! I'm amazed at sr 1 teams because once you develop a fear of falling backwards I feel like that would be hard to learn. Younger teams like minis and youth don't have as much fear (usually).

hahaha yeah, as much as i hated learning and doing bwos so much but i'm soo thankful that my gymnastics coaches made me learn the basics. now when i learn new skills its definitely a little easier!

BAHAHAHA

Yeah... I went sort of OTT there, bahaha

A lot of people agree with what you said, anyway.

HAHAHA is it weird that I just got the sudden urge to smell Abby's breath?

 

[Glamorazzi44]

So... the next season of Dance Moms premieres next week... Who's gonna tune in?



It looks diabolically good... as always . But I've decided that I won't tune in. I'll just watch it online sometime. Instead I'll catch up on the 5 seasons of PLL that I'm really overdue on

 

[Eyes On The Prize]

"Diabolically good". I can't think of a better way to describe Dance Moms

I will be tuning in (online, after it airs on TV.) Dance Moms is my guilty pleasure. It's probably the only "dramatic reality show" I care to watch I also can't wait to see all of the new dances there are in store for this season and how the kids have progressed!

Question: does anyone know if they will be shooting from the PA location or the new CA location? I'm not a fan of this new CA location thing but whatevs.
