Last week was pretty busy for me. I had a social activity scheduled on Monday night, a night that is typically a silks night for me. (Yoga on Tuesday, work day-trip on Wednesday.) Then on Thursday, my other preferred night for silks, I was so behind at work from having to travel the day before that I stayed late at the office and I had a friend's art show opening that I really didn't want to miss... so I ended up not getting in any aerial time at all last week. It was kind of depressing.
I was particularly concerned about getting behind in the choreography in the Thursday night Aerial Flow class. (Today I had the opportunity to ask how much further everyone was able to get. Apparently not far, which is good news for me and my need to catch up.)
Tonight was traditional aerial arts. I feel like I had more success than goofs today, which is usually not the case. I was able to do the angel drop consistently (although I did cheat on ankle wraps a few times). I also successfully did a butterfly drop without ruining it with my hesitation to completely let go of my hands at the end.
I had really wanted to work on the flamenco grip since it was where I got stuck during the Flow routine. I feel much more confident now. I was able to consistently use the grip to invert and move into a J pose. Only on my right side, though. My left shoulder is just not going to move that way.
Next things to work on: moving to a sit from the J pose and non-cheating ankle wraps.
