Working The Basics
My figures lesson with Danette on the 8:30 a.m. FS at Chandler. Just 3 skaters and 2 coaches.
We started right at the beginning of the session so I didn't get a warmup. We ran through edges and they were generally okay. Then we ran FO8 and spent a lot of time working to fix the body position, first on the RFO and then on the LFO. Ugh. The push is generally a lot better but having issues controlling the rotation after the first half of the circle. We finally made some progress.
After that we spent a few minutes working on FI8 and they were generally much better. Phew!
After my lesson I had just 5 minutes or so, so I worked on the step forward exercise that Danette gave me a while back. It felt relatively okay.
