4th Adult Level 2 Trapeze Class

Trapeze class was good tonight. Overall, it started off pretty slow, but I really got excited about the last trick and am going to use it to start off my performance.

Here's what we did:
1. Fairy Pose - did this twice, still not very good at this one.
2. Double knee roll-up - (twice) I'm getting pretty good at this one.
3. Sea Horse - When I did this, I turned the wrong way, which messed me up. I have to remember to turn into the wrap to wrap some more. Otherwise, this was good.
4. Amazon - (three times) sit sideways on the bar, left hand goes in the middle of the bar, right hand reaches up on the ropes, left hand is locked, lift hips off the bar and back, rope goes along the right side of the neck, let go with right hand
5. Shoulder Stand, Straddle back balance, bird's nest. - I did the first 2 in this sequence in my performance last time around, so this was no problem.
6. Front Pullover, Front Balance, Hip Circle into Catcher's Hang, Wrapped Angel, pulling out into a stand - (3 times), This is where I actually got excited about the class. I was able to do the hip circle pretty well this week. I did it successfully into the catcher's hang as well. I'm thinking this will be a good opening for my performance. It will be similar to the opening of the last performance, but it will be even more thrilling. The hip circle is a really cool trick. It's the one where I essentially hurl myself around the bar in a tucked position.

I also did quite a bit of conditioning. One of the worker's there recommended that I do my pushups with a close in hand position. It was much more difficult, as I typically have a wide position. It works different muscles. So, I'm going to try that for a while from now on. I definitely need to build up some more strength.
