Yesterday morning I had my semi-private trapeze lesson. It was me and one other person (and my instructor of course). My husband and our friend came with me to do video and pictures. I felt like I had an entourage. It was pretty cool.
I had a pulled right hamstring, so stretching was particularly painful. Hopefully that will heal up soon. But, it didn't effect my performance.
I was able to do my routine 3 times. I think my instructor gave us a little extra time over the hour. I was still able to nail my Front Pullover, so I have truly learned that trick. And, I was able to put in my arabesque. At class on Thursday I'm going to try to go from my leg up in the arabesque straight into the forward roll. I didn't feel "ready" to roll from that position on Saturday, so I had to bring my leg back down. So, it was more like 2 separate tricks rather than one long one. But, my instructor said that it looked good anyway.
After I did my routine once, my instructor said that she could tell that I've been going over my routine in my head - which was a really nice compliment. Her main comments were regarding relaxing my facial expressions. The 3rd time around, I was really going for an exuding peace. Everything seemed to click with that routine. I really felt the music, too, rather than thinking about my tricks. Everyone saw the difference and said that this time was far better than any of the others. It was the intangible quality of the performance.
So, I got 3 videos from straight on. And, I got pictures from 3 different angles. I can't wait to see them. And, I'll get a link to everything as soon as they get put online.
