Edges

 My figures lesson with Danette on the 8:30 a.m. FS at Chandler.  Ice was a bit beat up, but only 3 skaters.

Since I had not had a lesson in quite a while, we spent all our time working on edges.  Eeep.  Posture not good! We spent a significant amount of time working on the push for the initial BI edge, as I am still widestepping it.  We worked on bending the knees while on both feet, *then* picking up the soon-to-be-skating foot and really turning it out while pushing onto it, and then holding the free foot in front for a bit.  These used to be better!  They were really small today.  Ugh.  The rest were eventually fine.
