For competitive routines, that depends on what association you're competing with.  USAG, YMCA, AAU, AGA, USAIGC, NCAA (Div I and II), NAIGC, high school - I even think there's more.  Most of these organizations have websites where you can find routine requirements.

Just good ol' gymnastics is the best. Not Rhythmic, please. Ballet is great too.\nTake both and you can do cheerleading.

Okay, I'm a gymnast and I have a perfect thing for you to do. Take a hot bath, it has to be a bath and it has to be hot, and stay in there for 30minutes. After that, get into comfortable clothes and begin to stretch.\n\nSplits: This is what you do. Go into a straddle sit and then touch your face to the ground stretching your arms out as far as you can without pain. Hold this for thirty seconds or longer if you like. Holding it for thirty seconds, though, makes your body get use to it. If you don't like this one, or you want to do another, sit on the floor and have your legs out straight with your toes pointed, reach your arms out as far as you can and have your face as close to your knees as possible. Hold for thirty seconds. If you just want to do a quick excercise stand up with your legs out, not a split, and lean from one side to the other with your hand rested on that knee, start out looking forward and then after a few times doing it turn in the direction you're strecthing. Next go lower, and do the same thing. After that do a split, but have one of your knees tucked in under you body reach for the floor and hold for thirty seconds then do it with the opposite leg. After that do your splits and hold them for thirty seconds or longer. Do not strain!

use some tape and make 4 x's in a box shape with another x in the middle. the hop on one foot hitting all x's as quick as you can moving from bottom x's to top x's then back down and that is one set. then switch feet. i usually time myself and do 5 set continually trying to always beat my time.

Gymnastics and I'm not just saying that since i absolutely LOVE gymnastics.Just like gymnastics, figure skating is judged by judges of that sport. First off, in figure skating you must have balance right? Well then try out the beam! Try walking across it with your eyes closed! Then try doing tricks on the beam. If you have a lot of balance you will be able to be a great skater! If you want to be able to do tricks and spins...then you must practice that during gymnastics. Plus, gymnastics is the best sport in the world. It is so fun! And....its not as hard as you think it is. Learning how to do flips and stuff during gymnastics will really help you preform tricks on the ice! Good luck! :))

If you know the brand, you could probably google the name and come up with some sort of chart. \nOR.. you could go to your local gym and ask for some photocopies of routines or check out the posters on the wall.

Any floor excercises?!

Never do gymnastics without supervision. I am serious. You need to do this in a gym. So when you fall and break your neck, don't say I didn't warn you. \n\nBUT, you can use tape and tape a line or buy a gym mat that has the hands on it for cartwheels.

We had a sub in ballet last week who told us to really "use our energy".  She explained that if you look confident and happy, and expressive, it will help your entire performance.  Another thing she said was, "the floor will always be there.  It won't disappear if you don't look at it."  \n\nShe also helped me improve my plies.  For me, the biggest thing holding me back was that my plies were just not deep enough.  She explained that without a good solid plie you are more likely to hurt yourself.  At one point, she gently pushed down on my shoulders to show me how deep the grande plies should be.  Sounds like a silly thing, but my dancing has improved a LOT since last week.  She also told me to really be concious of my allignment.

since it is a gymnastics meet, i am assuming you cannot have any words in the song, so i think Tequilla, is a good option. I hada  routine to that once, and it has a good fast beat, and is easy to make a routine to.
