Question Hi im Amber and am 11years old and going to level 7 and am picking out floor music on my own but i need to know how many minutes are in a level 7 floor routine so i pick music that is long enough
Answer Hmmm..., I wonder if it is possible that a person who specializes in floor choreography and picking and designing floor music might be helpful.
Don't choreographers help determine not only the right music but the right length of a routine based on the gymnast's capabilities? Just because a routine can be between 1:10 and 1:30 doesn't mean it is going to be either - more likely somewhere in between based on your abilities.
But, what do I know about gymnastics?
You might find the answers from other "real" experts on this site more to your liking.

I think you need to be re-directed to an expert in that area, a famous choreographer named Kris Robinson.
