2nd Lesson of the week. A short one but we got lots of Blues practice in and I learned that I have been turning my head the wrong way … forever during the dance, fighting the direction we are skating toward and not looking “out of the circle” like I should.
When the coach tells you this … it sounds like an easy fix, but for me with what I call “choreography dyslexia” trying to fix something in my upper body means forgetting what my feet and legs are doing!!
Usually during a virtual test other skaters on the session try and skate out of the view of the videographer so as not to block any perspectives a judge needs to see. I get that. But it seemed today we spent a lot of time at the wall just waiting for a skater doing “skills”. Great for her, but it cut into my hour session and my hour of my lesson too. Oh well.
I somehow got lucky enough to be “dismissed” from jury duty on Tuesday and was able to snag a last minute lesson with coach Vitali.
Well I have a goal and a date. Looks like I may be looking for a new coach next fall as my coach is moving away. I don’t know what I will ...
