I do a FO3, and then because I feel good, I do another and another, and more until I've done a circle of them and end up standing in front of Dance Coach.
I've never done threes around the circle before.
We've never even discussed them before.
Still, when I stop in front of Dance Coach I'm not surprised that he has no expression. He's got his Russian coach poker face on. He says:

So, I do them again. This time with, I swear, nothing wrong in them I can think of. Arms. Good. Size. Good. Flow. Good. Turn forward. Good.
I come to a stop in front of Dance coach.
"Your head was in the wrong position," he says.
We have a relatively new Russian coach at our rink. I hear him on the ice. You can't NOT hear him. Shouting at the little girls, PUSH PUSH PUSH in his accent. I like my coach. She's a young, elem school teacher, very good with patience. She tells me what I do right as well as what I do wrong. My fragile little ego needs to be told I'm at least doing SOMEthing right.
