Duet Lesson

Melissa and I had our duet lesson with Lynne today on the Chandler coffee club.  We are going to stick with Tuesdays for the next few weeks.

We had plenty of time to warm up, then just before Lynne came out on the ice we ran through our program w/out music.  Not bad but some small things to fix.  I am still being wimpy on the FXOs.

We ran through it for Lynne, then picked up where we left off (after we made one small change to our hand position in the dance-y section).  We went on and picked up another 20 or 30 seconds worth of music that includes a couple of side toe hops (eep!  Hadn't done these since I skated in Tucson, I think) and then RFO3 into BXOs and me towing M in an attitude position.

We are really having a blast, but it takes a lonnng time to work this stuff out.  Yikes.  M and I are going to meet on Monday to practice.  I am going to have to sacrifice some figures time for the next couple of months as there's just not enough time for everything, and I don't have any immediate figures goals other than the long term one of fixing my darn waltz-8 and passing the stupid Preliminary test.
