Edges & Step Forward

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  Ice was a little rough, and a bit crowded (9 skaters).  Since it's a 60 minute session and I had first lesson, no warmup.

Today's lesson:

• F edges -- FO were a bit rough (no warmup) and way too much breaking at the waist, so we spent some time on them.  FI were mostly okay.
• B edges -- BO also a little rough; we worked the initial push a couple of times to improve the posture and push.  BI were actually pretty nice.
• waltz-8/step forward -- so we did a right foot waltz-8 and then decided to spend some quality time (almost all on the R side) on the step forward.  Still struggling with this, in general I tend to be forward which means that I'm leaning outside the circle when I'm trying to step forward, which is why I can't stay on the circle.
