FO8, Waltz-8, Serpentine, 3s

My figures lesson with Lynne on the Chandler coffee club.

As usual, warmed up with edges, scribed circles, and worked on the Preliminary test.  Unlike last week, it wasn't crowded at all, and nice ice.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- these were really nice!
• waltz-8 -- Hmm..  we ran through these twice I think.  There may actually be some stirrings of progress on the step-forward.  Keys seem to be to slow down, stand up straight, and make the step forward one smooth motion (don't anticipate).  Hmm.
• serpentine -- mmph.  These were better yesterday, but not too bad.  Only made it around once but the transitions are improving.
• 3s to center -- the R side was pretty yucky.  L side the 3s were pretty nice but I still need to stand up straighter and watch the free leg coming out of the turn.

Schedules are going to be a bit wonky in the next few weeks so hopefully I'll get  a lesson next week, not sure about the 3 weeks after that.
