Bopping To The Top

After my lesson (see below) Melissa and I met up on the 6:45 a.m. FS at Gilbert to work on our duet since we are skating it on Saturday for the Chandler recital.

Whoa!  It's only been 6 weeks but it's definitely been... a while.  Also we needed to "turn around" the program, which wouldn't have been a big deal except instead of a straight rotation it was a "mirror" or "reflection" as the curtain will be on the same side as at Autumn Antics, but we will need to face the other way.  So we have to turn it around but also move to the right.

We ran the program 4 or 5 times and also practiced a bunch of individual chunks that needed attention.  We made a lot of progress.  I'd say we are getting through it but it's not particularly crisp right now.  Fortunately we have an hour on Friday which should be sufficient to get things in good shape. I'm not worried.  It will be a lot of fun to skate this with Melissa again :-).
