Aerial Flow - Week 3

Tonight was the last night of the silks routine for the month. I'm relieved to move on to something else, but also disappointed that I never got through the whole thing successfully. I did every piece of it, just not all sequentially and not timed correctly to the music, and definitely not looking graceful or performance-ready. My focus for the month was getting the moves down and I never moved on to polishing them. 

I really did like most of the choreography for January. There was a great sequence where went from an arabesque, to a inverted middle split, to a J pose, knee sit, and lotus hang. That inverted middle split was so hard, but when I did nail it, it was so fun to go through the rest of the set.

We got a short preview of the February routine, which is more dance oriented. A month ago I would not have been excited to hear this, but after a month of seeing how difficult it is to make a hard fitness move look pretty, I am up for a little more floor work. Being in the air and moving for five minutes is actually quite exhausting. We won't even get into the air until about a minute and a half. Because this is going to be a sexier routine, it has a whole new set of challenges, but hopefully it'll be a good chance to really focus on the flow part.
