BEAM (in this order)
* straddle mount with "swing" up
* skip to middle
* toe turn
* 2 steps and pose in scale (arabesque)
* walk backward 3 steps
* squat turn with arms horizontal
* stand and do "arms"
* side lunge
* dip walk (point toes) to end
* tuck, straddle, or pencil dismount and STICK IT!

FLOOR (in any order)
* forward roll to stand
* cartwheel
* round-off
* any jump (full turn, split, tuck)
* two chasses
* arabesque (hold for 2 seconds)
* "dismount" pose (hold for 3 seconds)
**** You may include one or two other "stunts" or "moves" and your dismount pose should signal the obvious end of your routine. HAVE FUN!!

Last rehearsals

Here's a few photos of your last couple of practices before we PERFORM. Good luck!

LAST PRACTICE

Tomorrow is our LAST practice day before our performances which begin on FRIDAY! Be ready to SHINE! Make sure your hair is pulled out of your face and you are wearing a bathing suit that is appropriate and that fits well enough so that it won't be distracting. Bring your music so you can have a good "dress rehearsal."
