This is an interesting conversation
In that I have recently been working with a young lady out in California who was doing the leap and drag. It had the timing of her motion so out of sync that she lost all sense of balance during the leap and when she landed her arm was no where near the 1:00 position at toe touch. It got pretty ugly.
Here is the kicker. This girl was 12 going on 13 and was thin as a rail. She didnt have the strength or stability to pull this movement off ala Jenny Finch. Some instructor did try to get her there but only succeeded in messing her up for a few months.
Make sure you understand the direction your headed with your instructor. Ask them to produce a development plan for your daughter and if they cannot produce one then be wary of what your daughter is being taught.
