Trapeze Private Lesson

I'm on such a high right now. My private lesson this morning was amazing! I was able to do my routine 3 times through, with my husband video taping it. Plus, my instructor taught me how to do my front pull-over trick correctly. I was missing pulling up with my arms. That combined with keeping my legs straight the whole time did the trick. She also taught me how to make a smooth transition sliding down the ropes into the free handed hammock trick. And, I learned a new trick - an Arabesque - that I'm adding right before my forward roll. I also got some good tips regarding my styles, and they improved as well.

The 3rd take was the best. We'll be posting the video soon. I have a semi-private lesson next Saturday morning. I'm going to have my husband do video again for me, and I'm going to see if another friend can come take still pictures.

Mornings are typically pretty good for me. I don't usually feel too bad until later in the day. Luckily, even with being upside down and everything, I didn't get light-headed. I really hope that I can beat this without surgery. I would love to continue on to the level 2 trapeze class. Time will tell, though.
