Preliminary Test

My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler Ice Cafe.  I warmed up with edges, scribed circles, then worked on FO8, FI8 and 3s.

Today's lesson:
  • BO edges -- Danette wanted to look at these first.  They were not bad
  • FO8 -- not bad.  Still need to work on posture.
  • FI8 -- not bad.
  • 3s -- Danette wanted to work on these before we worked on the waltz 8. We worked them against the boards and then also on the crease.  Working to get them not so forced and to have more control.
  • waltz-8 -- about the same as they have been.
  • step forward -- we worked on these down the line, and then on the big circle.  Ugh.
