Choreography Complete!

It's done! I have a fully choreographed program! Woooo!

Lessonz - In my practice before the lesson, I worked a lot on the step sequence to try to get better flow but the twizzle and the toe steps were literally tripping me up so when it was time for my lesson, that's what we started with. Basically, he had me do a bajillion toe steps. It's really just a matter of doing it and doing it often to really just get it. We worked a bit on the twizzle as well since I keep forcing it into a spin. I really need to slow it down and trust the turns. I ran the program so he could see how to get me to the final spin after the final loop jump. So, I step forward from the jump landing, do a pretty lunge, do a pretty glide with arms, wind up for the spin (a forward scratch spin), and do a back pivot into final arms and pose. I'm just so damn happy it's complete. Now I can really work on it without having to guess what's next. He also reminded me not to look down throughout the sequence. It doesn't look nice. Trust my skills.

Dressz - The crystals came in and I was so excited to get started with the stoning except...the place I ordered my stones from shorted me a bit. Their customer service was great and they are sending the remaining stones but that puts off stoning the dress for another week. With the stones I do have, I was able to lay out the patterns I want so I could see what it will look like. Ugh...it's going to be pretty, guys. So.freaking.pretty!

Boardz - Well, here's a new development! I got an email on Thursday from the President of our club asking me if I would consider serving on the RMFSC Board of Directors! They would like to expand and diversify their board and she thought having an adult skater's perspective would be an asset. I agreed and I attended my first meeting this evening. I am also now the Fundraising Chair. All of this happened so fast! But I'm seriously excited to be a voice for the adult skaters in our club and serve an organization that I truly love and believe in. I'm on the board!
