Toe Loop, Spins

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

Today's lesson:

• toe loop -- we worked a bunch on this, and actually made some progress.  First, some wall exercises and then out on the ice.  I think my main takeaway was not to rush, and to just let the feet come together.  That said it's really a step and not a jump right now.  Lots to do but some good work.
• spins -- agggh!  I keep dropping my right side when I go into the spin.  It's very frustrating.  Or, in trying to lift the free hip I drop the right side OR straighten the skating knee too early. Grrr.  Lots to do here.

We did not start choreo on the free skate.  I'm concerned. I will probably have to have additional lessons in January to get through all this.  Not happy :-(.
