Ok, let me preface this by telling you how OUCH I feel today. Everything hurts from yesterday's clinic. But with my competitive season starting soon, I really can't rest. I still went to Pilates this morning and gave my all and then showed up to my lesson this afternoon ready to work. I was running on minimal energy but I showed up.
Christopher wanted to see the program so far with the music including the new steps he gave me last time. He seemed okay with everything but really wasn't a fan of the "almost" hydroblade he gave me last week so he changed that to a dramatic extension-glide thing and gave me some other connecting steps to get to my Flip-Toe Loop-Loop. Just when I have things worked out, he changes it on me. I guess that's to be expected at this stage of program design.
We spent the rest of the lesson on finding a way to cram the last three elements into about 30 seconds. After my jump combo, I do a couple of crossovers into a swing mohawk into an Ina Bauer and then step forward into a Salchow. From there, I do a waltz three into a Flip-Toe Loop and then wind up immediately for my final spin. He would really like me to do a combo spin but I'm afraid I might only have time for 3-4 revs total before the music stops.
We ran the program two more times. The third and final time was me basically clinging to life. I had nothing left to give. So exhausted! So yeah, it's done. We just need to figure out the end pose and see how much time I really have for that final spin.
Here's what we have in terms of elements:
- Single Loop (maybe with arms overhead)
- Single Lutz (with mohawk crossover steps leading in)
- Camel Spin
- Straight Line Choreographic Step Sequence from Goal to Goal (Includes Ina Bauers, Mohawks, Rockers, Lunges, Twizzles)
- Flip-Toe Loop-Loop Combo
- Single Salchow
- Flip-Toe Loop Combo
- Camel-Sit Combo (?)
