Ah, got it! I’ve never heard the term “artistic” in USAG or AAU, but it helps to have a defining term. USAG has levels but also other names; not sure if AAU has both, but both my daughters would essentially be Level 7 or 8. We don’t have rhythmic in our area, but I’m excited to see what my new Spanish daughter can show us! And I’m so glad you’re continuing in college.
Ah, the beam…one skill (back handspring) on the beam put my Dakota back a couple years. Not for the fearful, that’s for sure!
It’s a great sport. The discipline has probably helped you get through everything.
