TGIF Pre-Gold Dance Lesson

 End of the week lesson.  We had lots of time to work on most of the dances except the Kilian.

Really struggling (and dislike) the Blues.  I no longer fear the Chocktaw but the Crossroll after and the 4 count LBO edge…. I keep doubling at the waist because ?????  Who knows.

Starlight is my favorite but it’s exhausting to practice over and over.  Trouble area is the change of hold toward the end of the pattern… who wants to let go????

Paso Doble.. I am really still learning the steps .. there are many and they are fast and boggling to my mind.  Many cross behinds and in front … that one will trip me up for sure.

Awkward Morning On The Ice

 Had a short lesson this morning after walking 18 holes of golf yesterday.   I felt some back pain and could not ever warm up enough to settle into the ice.  Not loving the Blues dance too much… there must be a trick to it.
