The Stick

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler 1:15 FS.  Nice ice, just 3 skaters.

I warmed up with edges and scribed circles.  My FO edges were ucky so I did them again.

Today's lesson:

• FO3s -- For today's lesson, Danette brought her hockey stick and we used that to work on FO3s.  Ugh.  I just really don't want to twist into the circle enough.  I can do them okay when she's holding the stick, but when I just hold it myself, I don't want to turn in enough.  This is all mental, and it drives me bonkers.
• Waltz-8 -- after the FO3s we went on to work on the waltz-8.  Beside the wonky 3s, we still need to fix my step forward.  My posture quickly reverted to 'old Gordon'.  Ugh.  Lots to do here.
