Ice Skating 62

Zaky decided that he wouldn't tag along today, which I am glad bcos I so wanted to help Lil Shauna practice her program and spin. We had bread at home and stayed away from the sinful Mac bfast.

It was almost 11am by the time we hit the ice. Lil Shauna's spin was still bad; she couldn't keep her leg straight and ended up traveling from the pivot point alot. We spent a lot of time trying but just couldn't correct it. I think she has lost her spins.... Nnnnnnooooooo!

She did her program alright though; she remembered everything without needing any help for me. We took a little rest before proceed for her lessons. Mamee time!

The entire class was spent practicing her program (the 1st 2/3). Teacher Raymond also taught her the remaining 1/3 of her program, which consisted of a spiral and a final spin. She had some problems remembering the steps initially but appeared fine by the end of the class. There was even a little time left to try out the entire program with her music.

She went a little too fast in the beginning and had to restart a few times. Then she took too long certain other parts and had yet to do her final spins when her music ended. Lol. But in the very least, she had finished learning her program!

She still have weekly Saturday classes for the rest of November and some extra classes. I am quite sure the classes will be used to let her get used to the music and pacing plus corrections of her bad habits to perfect her program. She definitely needs to work on her spins and spirals. She also doesn't understand pacing accordingly to music.

Lil Shauna looked like she had fun skating to the music but said that she is still worried about falling and making a fool of herself during the competition. I hope she will do fine. I am definitely more excited than her. Lol.
