It was wonderful to see some new faces and some of you that I haven’t seen in a few months at our recent clinic! I have updated the shoes and the gloves page so you all know what to order for the season. You will want to order soon, so you can break everything in before band camp. Here are the things you can work on between now and when I see you again on May 19.
DANCE
plie and tendu in first and second positions, both parallel and turned-out
the new coupé / passé exercise
jazz walks
jazz walks with coupe hops
the dance combination!
FLAG
drop spins on left and right
the angle exercise on left and right (go for precision!)
pull-hits – i would love to get through one set on the right slowly on the 19th
the combination!
RIFLE
spins: 6 on bottom, 6 on top, 6 on bottom, 6 counts with a single – repeat – shoot for 3 sets of this
wrist rolls – 16 forward, 16 back
tosses – the priority is good technique!!! singles and doubles for everyone, tripples for Hannah, Jessie, Gigi, Diarra, and anyone else who has mastered doubles
SABRE
spins – shoot for 50 on each side
flourish exercise (8 count spin into hilt catch….)
blade tosses – singles and doubles
hilt tosses – the priority is good technique!!! singles and doubles for everyone, tripples for Hannah, Jessie, Katie, and anyone else who has mastered doubles
Happy practicing and I can’t wait to see all your improvements on the 19th!
