P is out of town at a competition this weekend, and between my work schedule and Vanderbilt's home game on Thursday messing up the one day we might've been able to meet for a lesson, my next lesson with her will be on Saturday, two weeks from my last one. Maybe it's the former teacher's pet in me, but I decided I was going to surprise her by making a whole lot of progress on Schafer pushes, rockers, choctaws, and loop jumps.
So far so good on pretty much all of these after many hours of practice this weekend. The rhythm for Schafer pushes really clicked for me on Saturday and now they're quite natural. I've got a reasonably good swing choctaw going on my right side, and I can basically do one on the left as long as the lobes are really shallow. I've aaaaaalmost got a right forward outside rocker going. I just barely need to put the free foot down to get myself turned onto the back outside edge. I have to put the foot down longer on the left.
Loop jumps...well. I think I'm to the point where I have about 1/8th of a rotation going. Yay? This one probably needs more tutoring before I give myself bad habits.
