Trapeze Class and Update

Only 1 more official trapeze class (and 1 private lesson) before my performance. This trapeze class was good. I finally got from Wrapped Angel directly into Crow's Nest. It honestly wasn't that physically difficult. It was really more of a mental thing that I had to conquer. I didn't get it on my 1st run-through, but I decided on the 2nd one that I was going to do it, and I did. Also, I was able to complete the zip drop both times, which was good, although I still need some work on the setup for it. My hip circle was really good both times, as was my front pull-over. So, it's coming together.

One thing, though. After today's class, my performance is NOT going to be the best one in the show. The guy from my previous class is in this one, too. His performance is by far going to be the best - both in terms of physicality and in terms of artistry. He's doing his routine blindfolded. It absolutely blew me away. I've never seen anything like it. He's probably 90-95% there as well with getting it all perfected. He was essentially performance ready tonight.

But, luckily I'm female, and my performance is very different from his, so I'm still extremely excited about mine. I can't really compare mine to his. I'm more focused on doing mine as well as I can. I'm hoping to have a good next 2 weeks regarding fitness. I have a plan for this week regarding the P90X workouts, so hopefully that will go well. And, perhaps I can drop a bit more weight before the show to make everything easier. With 2 more practices, I should be ready for the performance. Granted, it may not be perfect, but I think I'll be happy with it. I'm very excited and think it's going to be an awesome show.
