Spins & Jumps

 My lesson with Holly on the 7 a.m. FS at CCIC.  Okay ice, about 12 skaters but very doable.

Today's lesson:

• spins -- eep.  After some duds, I got one really good one!  The key was mostly, I think, to actually bring the free leg in, stand straight up over my skate, and not chicken out too early.  Alas, only that one was good, the rest not so much.  Still, it's progress.
• waltz jump -- just a few of these.  Pretty good, actually!
• salchow -- yow.  The very first one was really good! Well, the landing was a little wonky, but the entrance and takeoff were spot-on.  Again, the subsequent ones not as good. Still, I was pretty happy with it.

After my lesson I worked a bit on 3s and stroking, and then a couple of sals and spins.
