Progress City! 3/18

So yesterday I had practice again and I am really improving. I worked on my Waltz Jump more- it was super scary today because I got my skates sharpened and I felt like I was going to fall. I also worked on my spin which is coming along well, and I learned how to properly exit it- as opposed to stepping out of it, which is what I was doing before. I also learned how to "bunny hop" which is basically how you learn to use your toe-pick, I felt incredibly dumb doing it and I'm sure I looked like a moron as well. Anna also taught me a two toe step thing which is pretty easy and a spiral which is an arabesque, but higher. I'm already super flexible so I just need to work at being strong enough to keep my leg held up high. Shooting the duck is another thing I sort of learned, but I can't do it without falling on my butt..ow.
On March 31st I am going to be in a showcase!
I get to have my own routine and pick out music and everything, on top of that I'm going to be in a group number with some of my figure skating friends.. I couldn't be more excited!
