We worked hard on trying to find new ways to lift someone without it being too cliche or seen somewhere already. We discovered that the back, the thighs, and even hand and feet are good bases to hold a person up.  Both partners have to work with equal force and stay focused when partnering otherwise lifts like these can be very dangerous.  I learned that you just have trust your partner and give them your weight.  You also have to go slow sometimes and that is okay because with time the series of lifts will become more fluid.]]> 2016-10-25 21:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133175986 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176024 Today we worked on silks and I was finally able to complete the foot lock. I was very nervous to do this but I attempted it today with the help of Kram and my friends! I now need to work on facing my fears and just doing it by myself because I know that I can do it, I just have to try. I also need to work on building my strength to get out of the foot lock.]]> 2016-10-25 21:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176024 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176169 Today in FPAC I worked hard on getting into the correct position to be able to do the straddle drop. I was very afraid but I finally was able to do it with the help of my classmates! I think that I need to work on getting it solid before I can try it on my own and that I need to remember to pointe my feet in this trick. I need to remember to pointe my feet in all of the tricks actually. I think that today was a good stepping block for getting this trick mastered and now I just need to keep practicing!]]> 2016-10-25 21:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176169 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176286 Today we did some movement in choreography and were able to record it in our groups. I think that from watching this video that I need to work more on traveling and staying more grounded. I need to trust that the floor is there and that I can press my weight into it. I think that I did a good job performing this piece and staying with the group as a whole. I also need to start using my neck more and releasing my head in combinations like this.]]> 2016-10-25 21:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176286 mrv4vasquez https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176296 Today in class we worked on floor phrases as well as across the floor phrases and then some silks. I think that I did a good job initiating my movements throughout this phrase. I think that I need to trust myself more because I knew the combination before I performed it and then I second guessed myself while performing it. I think that I need to watch that my feet are fully connected to the floor whenever I am on the floor in Modern. I also think that I need to really reach past my limits in each stretch or pose instead of just going through each of them.]]> 2016-10-25 21:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mrv4vasquez/1tcnh395g6iw/wish/133176296
