I noticed I have to pay more attention to the details in combinations. I am to busy trying to get the jist of the combination that I forget about the smaller things that we were told to do. And usually, those smaller things make a big difference. For example, the first step was to contract and I didn’t do it like that.

One thing I did think I’ve been improving in is making every move last. What I mean by that is I keep moving and elongating myself to the most I could. I do think I can make everything bigger, but I did notice the pictures I made throughout the combinations.

In this combination I think I did a pretty good job in traveling and making it big. However, one thing I think I could’ve made bigger was the contraction in passe when we chassed to the corner. I should’ve rounded my back more and let go.

Another thing I think I could’ve done better was the turn at the end. I did a nice turn, but if I squeezed one more second at the end of it, I could’ve stayed up. Instead, I let go too soon and ended a nice turn.

In this combination I noticed I could have made everything “breathier.” Meaning held positions longer and made everything bigger. This would have made the timing better and more interesting. Also, by making it more breathier it would’ve felt more relaxing and more of a stretch for my body with all the arches that were in it.

Another thing I noticed is I need to be more sterdy. In some parts of the combination I could have had a better supporting leg so that I would not have been shakey.

In this combination I should have let my body go freely more. This means I should have taken a deep breath every time I contracted forward. This would’ve helped open up space in places where my body was tense.

Another thing I could’ve done better was extended my arms further out to get a better stretch on the side of my body.

In this combination I could have gone into a deeper pile into the kicks. This would have given me more momentum in the swing in the kicks.

Also, in some of the kicks my leg rotated inward so I have to be cautious of that.
