I really think I'm going to stop coming to APEX for their Wednesday night public sessions. It's just too crowded. I only ended up staying about 30-45 minutes because it was too congested to work on anything meaningfully. Here's what I worked on:
Movez - I worked a bit on edges and waltz eight. Nothing to say about these. They are passable, I think. I did, however, make some good progress on the Circle 8. I was actually able to get around the RFO circle completely without putting a foot down. In fact, I was able to do it 2 or 3 times! It's still not consistent but this is progress! Exciting!
Spinz - Two-foot and one-foot spins are still testable. I think these are fine. I moved on to more advanced spins. I worked a bit on my nemesis, the backspin, and those were quite a disaster as were my sits and camels. I just have no flexibility in my left ankle so the sit spin is barely even a squat right now. Maybe I'll see improvement the more I do them. Let's hope anyway.
Jumpz - Waltz and salchow are still okay. I feel good about incorporating them into a program now. I'm consistently landing them. I just need height. I did some more toe loops so I have something to show Christopher on Saturday. I'm pretty sure they are toe-waltzes but I'm trying. What killed me tonight were the half-flips. It's no longer a fear thing...these HURT! Landing forward on my left toe pick just about killed me. I'm still really sore. Not pleasant. But if he wants me to do one on Saturday, I will just to show him that I've been working on it. But damn...ouch.
