Then this year – Ally is part of the advanced class of girls – the Stars – she is a Shooting Star this year.  In January they do a showcase for the parents to demonstrate the skills they have been working on. Then in June is the more formal routine as part of the Show.

Warm ups – Ally can pretty much do 2 kinds of splits now.

A back walk over on the cheese mat – then walking on the beam and going into a handstand dismount (below). They finished with a round-off to a back handspring. The coach spotted them on the back handspring, but Ally almost has it down! She is working so hard this year.

The girls showing off their ribbons. We’ve pleased lately that even though Ally is the youngest in her class, she seems to be talking and enjoying herself socially a bit more as well, and its great for her ego that she is not the smallest one. IMG_2874
