Small Victories

I got back to work this morning on all of the things!

Moves - My forward Power Circles are coming along. I was actually surprised at how not terribly scary the forward CCW ones feel. It's a horror story going the other direction, though! Backward Power Circles were just okay. I worked on all of the Double 3s. Something happened today that was sorta delightfully surprising - my LBO 3 turn (you know, the one that took a year and a half to get) was just so easy today. Like, really easy. That's a pretty amazing development! I also had a good day with the Backward Circle 8! I was able to make it around the outside circles without a foot down! My LBO is my weaker side and I've been having a difficult time with stability but today, it worked! Finally, Brackets. No progress here. I still cannot do the LFO bracket away from the wall and I still can't get the backwards brackets to work but the other ones are still there. That's something. 

Spins - Christopher gave me some spin homework and I worked on it until things started to get worse instead of better. However, my backspins are feeling good. They are flamingoed but I have control over them. 

Jumps - I worked on the Lutz exercises Christopher gave me and I don't feel like I made progress but maybe it's like the Circle 8 where it just gets better really slowly over time until it's good. 

Program - Didn't run it. I'll do it next time. 

Dances - I ran all three without the music. They are okay. I'm trying to lean back more on the backward chasses and swing rolls on the Swing Dance and I think I made some progress on that.
