Dance Progress

Practice this morning and my main focus was dance, not only because I have a test coming up but also because jumps were not happening today. My right boot has basically no support left so I'm falling on stupid things like loop jumps. 

Cha Cha - Before I ran this with the music, I spent a lot of time on the step out of the slalom. I finally got it to the point where I'm not inserting a tiny chasse right after but the muscle memory is so strong that I have to focus pretty hard to make sure I'm not doing this. 

Swing - This was pretty good!

Fiesta Tango - I worked on that last step where I hold the free foot crossed behind. I did just the end pattern a bunch of times to make sure it stuck. I think I made some progress. 

Towards the end of my practice, I ran all three dances with the music. I feel really good about the Swing and the Cha Cha and, although I feel better about the Fiesta Tango, I don't feel entirely great about it. I feel like if there is a dance that will be marked as a "retry" it will be this one. It's not bad, though. Maybe I'm just being hard on myself because it doesn't feel as good as the other two but man, I wish I was more comfortable with it. I still have two weeks until test day so I still have time.
