Edges, Step Forward

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  A bit crowded (10 people!) but good ice.

I scribed circles and warmed up with forward edges.

Today's lesson:

• Back edges -- these were generally okay.
• Step forward -- we worked most of the lesson on these, specifically in the context of the waltz-8, so the BO-FO step forward.  Ugh.  Not a whole lot of progress, but I sure at least understand what I'm doing wrong... I'm not standing up straight (where have I heard this before?!) so when I go to step forward I'm already breaking at the waist so it's really hard not to step out of the circle.  Also, I'm not turning my foot enough from the BO to step to the FO.  Ugh.

A bit frustrated with these, but oh well.
