Yesterday I went to the studio again. I don't know why I have to say this, because I have already said I go to dance every weeknight, but whatever, I just feel like it.(Plus it provides more easy writing material...)
So, my partner and I had a class and practice today. Essentially all we worked on was our frame. It's been going well, but I have been having trouble with my right shoulder. I am having difficulty keep it down while I dance. I start with it down, but as I dance, it slowly rises, and it causes a very bad and broken line to our frame. And the worst part? For the life of me I cannot feel when I am doing this, so that makes it ten times harder to fix!
We also worked on some Waltz stuff. On the Weave I guess I wasn't going down enough on one step, so it kind of messed up the look of the whole thing. On the Underturn Outside Spin I have to remember not to shorten it when I am going into the turn. On the Chasse's, I have to make the rise go through all the steps of the chasse, instead of reaching the full height on the first step. I also have to make more shape or "sway" on the Wing. Arg, there is so much to focus on!!!!
Lots of stuff to work on all right, at least we will have more practices soon.
This coming week though, my partner will be having family over at her house, so we won't be able to start these new practices quite yet. The week afterward though, I believe we will finally be able to get more practice time.
Oh yeah, and yesterday was the first time I drove to the studio by myself. I think I said so already, but I got my license on Tuesday. So happy! Maybe I can make it easier on my partner's family and drive her to and from the studio if they can't make it on a certain day.
Well, that is my life,
