....every time I spin.... |
Well, I got to a point where I could do a one foot spin for 1 1/2 rotation in my unnatural direction. That's 1 1/2 times the one foot spin I could do in my natural direction.
Then I got bored in group this week, and I switched back to spinning the natural way.To my total surprise, I could now pickup my free foot in the natural direction spin.
And, now I can do one foot spins in both directions.
They are BOTH.EQUALLY.LOUSY.
But, hey! One foot spins--both ways!
And did anyone in the rest of group notice?
So here's my lesson from "Do the Opposite." I don't know why, but sometimes doing the opposite may help fix what I'm doing wrong.
Too true. Too true.
In Europe, I had a coach for group lessons who would have us do patterns that included basic jumps in the other direction! I was able to do a pitiful waltz jump, but never managed to do anything resembling a salchow.
