On the Way to Sit Spin

It has become our routine for Lil Shauna to hit the ice before off ice on Sunday. Now that church starts and ends earlier, she gets a good lunch and a good hour of practice.  The practice is much needed especially now that the ice is so crowded on Saturday morning. The Sunday slot before off ice is suppose to be much emptier usually.

Lil Shauna is still feeling slightly under the weather. She spent the 1st 15 mins skating leisurely on the public ice. She seemed to be enjoying herself until I signaled for her to go to her 1/3 ice. Hello, time to work hard.

She did work hard when she moved over to the the 1/3 ice, practicing on her jumps and spins. Towards the end, I asked her to do her sit spins. Her scatch spins are inconsistent; I have seen very good ones but usually not. She was taught sit spin but we usually focused on her scratch spins, trying to perfect those before moving on.

I was excited when I saw that she could go lower than usual on her sit spin today! I asked her to do it again and again and took so many videos. She even tried standing up and continuing on her scratch spin thereafter. Hohoho.

Teacher Raymond caught her doing the last one and commented that the "shape" is there, she just needed to go down lower. Nevertheless, it is an improvement, a big one if you ask me.

I am so happy, more than Lil Shauna, we are on our way to another big milestone. Hehe. I kept asking Lil Shauna what she had done right, she is clueless. Whatever it was, I told her to remember this feeling next week. Hehehe.
