Moves, Brackets, Spins

My lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate.  Nice ice and 9 skaters.

I warmed up with stroking, perimeter XOs and power-3s.

Today's lesson:

• BXOs to BO edges -- these were really nice!
• circle-8 -- stillll not making it around.  Ugh.
• 5-step c-step -- a little rough the first time.  Holly said she wanted them 'lobier', especially on the R side, so we did them again and it was better.
• brackets -- some progress on these. Holly keeps reminding me to "bend & snap!" (obscure Legally Blonde reference).  We are just working on the FO ones, with Holly holding my trailing hand.  They are improving.
• spins -- just 5 minutes or so on these. I did a really good one and several that were almost as good!

All in all a pretty good lesson.
