Sunny and cold and beautiful! What a nice family day.
First session: ollies, 180's, but mostly worked on kick flips.
Second session: I did line one ten times. I started doing line two but got thye idea in my head to not push fakie mongo. I pushed fakie normal and did fakie ollie and shuvit, the first two moves of line two. I ended with some more kick flip fun.
The boy created a new one foot push method:

I didn't have an awesome class - but it was better than Wednesday. I predict that next Thursday will be a good class. I just haven't been enough lately.

Wednesday 6 - 7:07am Bikram Cambie - Tierny

Whoa! I started strong and then melted. It got hot today. I was glad to get to leave early and come to work. I think I only made it once last week because I was so busy. I was going to go the last three days of this week but they are closed tomorrow morning for maintenance. I will be back on Friday though - hopefully, I will have a better class than I did today.

There was an old guy from Westcoast Hot Yoga standing beside me today. He must have taken some time off the yoges though - he was looking a lot fitter the last time I saw him - three years ago.

I have good sore muscles from dance yesterday - good class. The kids are going to get some of the love in their warm-ups today. hehehe!

Tuesday 12 - 1:30 Contemporary Jazz - Antonio

Antonio Jeffersen is here performing in Flashdance. He was subbing Liz's class.

Carrie and Twigg came and danced with me. Yay!!

The warm-up was awesome. Here are some things I want to add into my warm-up:

  • Low lunge to balancing stick and open to face front back to stick and back to lunge 
  • Forward bend then roll up in four straight to retire balance. Look right, left, centre, up, down repeat with eyes open and closed. Repeat balancing on one foot. Repeat moving one leg and testing balance. 
The piece was fun but required a lot of space. I didn't have space to dance. I moved twice. I got hit once. I hit someone once. It was good to dance when we were in small groups. We didn't have a lot of time at the end. One time only.


Tuesday 9:13 - 9:48 Skate E Spot (25 mins)

Sunny but cold and windy!!

Monday 6:15 - 7:45 Contemporary Jazz - Moe

I saw Caitlin and her friend. They took Jazz Funk. I was going to take that class too. I'm glad I didn't rush my family skate and dinner though.

Moe's class was full. She did a very short abs and stretch then straight to choreo. She had a lot of choreo and we didn't get through all of it. She is going to teach the rest next week.

She used a song she heard on The Sopranos.

It was a fun, jazzy piece with a few hard hitting beats.
