Moves, Jumps, Spins

 My lesson with Holly on the 9:15 FS at Gilbert.  I had private ice!  There was no ice cut though, so it was kinda bumpy.  Ugh.  I warmed up with stroking and perimeter XOs.

Today's lesson:

• circle-8 -- ugh.  Between the ice being rough and... me, it was Not Good.  We tried some at center ice and also elsewhere on slightly better ice, but it was just not good.  I couldn't make it around any of the circles.  Geez.
• power-3s -- we worked on just the L side. These are actually improving.  The first 3 is sort of okay, but I still need Holly's hand to do the subsequent ones (geez!).  The back lobe actually is good!  Like, a real crossover and step forward without any two-footedness or putting my foot down.  So that's something.
• jumps -- a couple of waltz jumps and a really good salchow, actually.  YAY!
• spins -- just one as we ran out of time.  It started well but I didn't bring my free hip up so... not so great.  Eeep.
