Choreo - Elements

My choreo session with Tammy on the 7:30 a.m. FS.  Nice ice, 4 skaters and 4 coaches.

I had a half hour to warm up so I did some stroking and slaloms, then worked on toe loop and some spins.

For today's session we started by listening to the new cut of my music that I got yesterday.  It's terrific!  A number of changes but now a much stronger ending and some real variety in the parts of the song that are included.  Yay!

We talked through the "story" of the program and agreed on a rough outline.

From there we worked on looking at what's in the "toolbox" and worked through most of them.  They include:

• waltz-3
• a little pattern of RFI3 - step forward - crossover - LFI swing roll
• swing rolls in general
• half flip
• chaine' turns (from the Years program)
• hockey glide/slalom also like I had in my Years program
• half flip
• the dreaded bunny hop - lunge
• BXO with extension
• spin w/arms on entry
• 5-step mohawk or some variation thereon

All in all there's some stuff to work with -- I had never really thought about it before.  

I still need to find a prop!  Urph.
