Same Ol' Same Ol'

My figures lesson with Lynne on Chandler coffee club as usual.... a bit busy today about 10 skaters and 2 coaches.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- Just a little time on this.  RFO8 is generally good, LFO8 still lacking.  I still need to improve my body position on the LFO8 and get the free leg in more promptly after the push.
• Waltz-8 -- the majority of our time today.  My turns were a bit wonky/scratchy/uncontrolled.  I did manage to fix some issues with my step forward on the R side -- being more decisive ("committed" was the word of the day) and being sure not to helicopter the arms really helped.  The L side improved a bit too but is not as good.
• BI8 -- these are coming along nicely.  The L side is still a lot weaker and the position for the first half of the circle is not as strong.
• BO8 -- I'm really pleased with my progress on these. Biggest issue right now is I need more push on the L side and need to lean into the edge more to get back to center.

All in all, just sloggin' along but it is slowly improving.
