Power!

My power lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate, as usual.

Today's lesson:

• stroking - of course. 2 laps!
• slaloms - 1 lap.
• lunges - 1 lap.  Ugh.
• forward swizzles - 1 lap.
• back swizzles -- 1 lap. these were actually pretty easy.
• chassés -- around the circle, each direction, forward and back.  Back was pretty nice. Forward, I get a little nervous going that fast. Ugh.
• swing rolls -- down the line.  First Holly had me do them somewhat normally, then again trying to keep my weight back on the blade more... eeek.
• cross rolls -- like 2 laps of these?  I don't get good deep edges on these but they did improve.  It took me back to my dance class w/Naomi.
• and finish with a lap, of course!

I'm grateful that there weren't any toepick things, and she hasn't made me do jumping up in place stuff lately either... yay!  Of course now I've jinxed it :-).
