[321confetti]

[Theaterfreak]

What's the music?

Dani is really good!

[rinnaluv]

a couple of tips-extend at the end of the glide,snap your feet close to the bar---i mean CLOSE- and "put your pants on",by looking at your feet the whole entire time.thats how i got my kip.and stay hollow....don't arch your back.

[maia1129]

where is her gym

[Iamurcuppycake]

in Maryland in elkridge

[ImSoRandom567]

@Iamurcuppycake oh my godd i went there for nine years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gymlovr828]

so has she gotten her kip yet?

[KaraKarateka]

Maybe it's cause I'm from Australia but I've never seen a strap bar like that. I'm really intrigued lol ... we use gloves on a metal bar.

[mileycyrusfan247400]

i know dani and i know coach kathy.. actually coach kathy is my coach now

[Iamurcuppycake]

coach Kathy is my coach 2

[theidontcareshow]

she needs to flick her wrists over the bar. if she still doesn't have it think of your favorite food and pretend it right in front of you but you have to lean forward to get it. that's really it and get your toes to the bar. that's what helped me and my friend.

[shootingstarsdance]

how old is she

[flyergymgirl125]

She is 10 years old.

[mydancetv]

Very good! My 6 year old is into gymnastics- I'll have to show her this ;)

[canadiangymmom]

Dani`s doing great!!! I can`t believe how much she put into that kip..I don`t have her kind of perserverance! Way to go DANI!! With the way you attack your skills, you`re going to go as far as you want in this sport!!

[gymchick97]

If she already has her kip,CONGRATS!!

If she doesn't, here are some tips to help her.

1) Instead of pulling the bar to your knees pull them to your toes.

2) Start the kip standing a little closer to the bar.

3)Pretend that in your kip that you are pulling up your pants.

4) When you jump to catch the bar for a kip, jump up instead of into the bar. This will make it much faster.

5) Switch your wrists quicker and lean over the bar.

Hope this helped! Good luck! I am going to levl 6 this year!

[flyergymgirl125]

Thanks so much!!! These are great tips!!! Btw--Love your back bend video--5 minutes--way to go!!!

[mel570]

wats a kip??

[car17yn71]

@mel570 A kip is the most important move in gymnastics (and the hardest to learn). The gymnast glides under the bar, brings the toes to the bar, and rotates the body to finish in a front support position.

[silvia1097]

quando stai per arrivare su devi spingerti in avanti..

[junior2966]

u r so close to doing that kip i had the same problem but i kept doing it and doing it and i got it

[gymnastix7]

You are soo close to that kip!!! just keep trying! when i was in level 5 i had the same problem a lot of people do!!!!

[liamtaraerin]

OMG Dani you are so close to that kip. You are really learning so fast, wasn't last year your very first year doing bars? WOW!

[flyergymgirl125]

Thanks!! and Yes-last year was her first year doing bars--amazing isn't it??? Bars has always been her fav and one of her strongest events, but I never thought she would excell so fast!

[emsmom03001274]
