Busy Week - First Skate Since Last Lesson

 That’s never a productive session.  No time to practice in between lessons.  My Thursday coach couldn’t make it last week and golf kept me off the ice Monday - so I hadn’t skated since last Wednesday.  

Nevertheless - I think some repetition and some of the words are beginning to sink in.  I think I am making a little progress on those nasty three turns.  At least while I practice them outside the context of the dance pattern.  Once I go back into trying a full scale pattern - the wide step rears it’s ugly head while I try to keep up the tempo of the dance.

On The Ice This Week

Here’s a couple of sessions of Ice Café. Two different rinks. One in Chandler the other in Scottsdale. The latter comes with a group lesson. 

The video is pretty choppy on Scottsdale - I had to cut out a skater who prefers not to appear on my YouTube channel. 

Working with Naomi Lang Strong is helping me make small but incremental improvements in my dance skills. Huge difference in my awareness- correcting the problem will take longer.
