Edges, FO8, BO8

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler Ice Cafe. Beyootiful ice; about 7 skaters.  I just had time to scribe circles before my lesson.

Today's lesson:

  • edges -- FO were a little wonky, but the others were pretty good.
  • FO8 -- meh.  Posture is still a problem, and I was having problems getting around the circle.  I notice that specifically I have issues with breaking at the waist for the first part of the circle; after I rotate my arms I'm okay. Ugh.
  • BO8 -- these are actually not so bad.  Danette worked with me to look into the circle more.  I did a better job of keeping the free shoulder back on the initial push and keeping the free foot in front, so that's something.
