Last night I had another lesson for 20 minutes during my two hour ice time. We worked on my crossovers and Anna is super happy with my stroking (skating). I need to do wall sits at home, so I'll add those to my daily core training exercises that way I can get more power in my crossovers.
I told her I had worked some on my Waltz jump so she and I worked on that, she actually taught me how to jump though which I didn't know before. There are specific arm movements- arms swing behind you as you go up, at the peak they are horizontal at your chest and when you land they're out to the side.
Also I had to learn to come down and go up on my toes, which is scary because I've been avoiding those toe picks!!
I'm getting more comfortable with it and I can't wait to keep practicing until it looks perfect.
Also I found out about a showcase in April that The Rink hosts and I'm very tempted to try that out, so I'll ask Anna if she thinks I could be ready in time.
