Duet Lesson

Melissa and I had a lesson with Lynne today to tweak our duet.

We got on the ice at noon and warmed up individually, then we worked a bit on side-by-side stroking/crossovers.  Then we worked on some program chunks and then did a runthough without, and then with music.

Once we started working with Lynne we ran the program with music again.  There are a few places where it seems like we have dead time that looks awkward, so we came up with some additional elements to fill in.  I really liked what we came up with!

After that we spent some time working on how we'll come on the ice, and our bows and exit.  You would think that would be nothing but it really took us about 10 minutes or so to work through it!  After that we ran the whole thing with music, including entrance and exit.

This has really come a long way!  I think we both are having a great time with it and it's just a lot of fun.  It looks like we will only have one more lesson with Lynne before Autumn Antics, the rest is just practice on our own.
