Jumps

My lesson with JJ on the 8:15 FS at Gilbert, as usual.

Today's lesson was all jumps, mostly toe loop.  We worked on getting the upper body to rotate in the takeoff of the jump, and to keep the arms at a 90-degree angle to each other.   JJ said that even when I don't actually jump and land backward, he wants me to do an RFI3 right after to get used to getting my balance right afterward.  It's a little weird, but he IS the coach :-).

For the last few minutes we worked on waltz jump, then waltz into the toe loop.  Eeep.
