Default The Toe Touch. For all of you who have dancers and cheerleaders

I have two daughters that have been involved in dance and cheer leading over the years. At competition the toe touch is something that the judges look at. As always Dad has the camera trying to catch the action. The first one I just happened to be at the right floor level to get this shot. One of the best group toe touch jumps I have seen. The other pictures are jumps captured at various events. I did not know that the tips were going to be 15 great jump shots........honest! The girl in the middle on the last shot is my daughter. Thanks for looking.

Great action shots. Especially like the first one, great angle and the girls are very uniform. Your daughter must be the limberest of all!
