Lil Shauna had been learning her program for the past many lessons. While she has completely learnt the entire program, I have yet to see her do it with music and I am so looking forward to it.
She wouldn't be taking the test in October. Given the restrictions, I don't know when would be the next test date. I think it is good that she has more time to work on the program and gain a lot more confidence.
The lessons are often more than just the program. I had wanted to say that she would have gotten so sick of the program after repeating it so many times only to recognize that some of the more advance skaters skate to the same music like thousands of times until it is muscle memory. Anyway, the gist is she does do other stuff during lesson.
Lil Shauna has always been more of a jumper than a spinner. Her double sal needed more consistency though and I am still waiting for her to suddenly land her double toe one day, like how she suddenly got her axel and double sal.
Coach worked on her camel spins in the last few mins of the lesson. Yes, we needed a lot more consistency to her camel spin too. Haiz. Coach then asked her to catch her free foot, something that she has never been managed to do. She said that she cannot find her foot and doesn't know when it is when spinning. Zzzzzz. Then suddenly, she caught it. 终于找到了!
Her posture when she is trying to catch her foot didn't look ideal. Her spinning speed also drastically drops while trying to find and catch her foot. Ideally, she needs to be able to spin another 3 more rounds in that position to be considered as successfully completed the spin. She has a lot to work do. Hoho. But she finally found her foot! So 感动. I always enjoy watching her on ice.
