10/11/2023 5 Comments Week Three: On our ownAlyssa: This past week me and Lila did not meet together. We each decided we were going to work on the skills that we were taught the previous week. As a recap Lila taught we a turn in second and a calypso. I was practicing the approach for the turns in second, which consistent in me spotting and holding on to a chair and doing leg lifts. I practiced this quite frequently and even tried to add a spin. That went pretty well I just feel like I need to tighten up more and have more of a flow with it. Sometimes I switch up my arms so I also need to work on that. For the calypso I practiced the approach with my arms and the chaine. I first practiced with the approach and then added the first chaine up chaine. As I got better with the approach to the first chaine I added the second chaine or the down chaine. I need to sharpen up when doing this and gain more speed. I am not quite ready to add the jump on this so I will just continue to practice the approach with the chaine for now.
Lila: This past week I have been drilling the skills and exercises everyday. I started with the back walkover, Alyssa thought I was close enough to the skill to just practice it. The first couple days practicing were definitely rough. I fell on my back a lot or couldn't kick over. Eventually I started getting all the way through the skill. I mainly need to focus on making the skill continuous. I tend to pause in between the different parts. The aerial has proven to be much harder. I am still doing the exercises but I’m not making as much progress. I need to definitely speed up my cartwheel because with current speed I will not make it. I also need to overall have more power in the prep. I am also doing the strength drills for the back handspring. In class: Mr Barker came up to us during class to check on our progress. He became curious about what the dance skills looked like so we demonstrated them for him. He then attempted the skills and it was amazing.
