Today, is the day, that I finally...... get my toe-loop. Uhoooooo...
Yes, 9 months has passed since I first learned the toe-loop. With all the frustration in positioning, and then to unlearn it since I didn't really use my toe pick to take off, then all of a sudden, I got it. I practised many times today to nail it down, since I'm afraid I'll forget it next week. Thank you Andy for the waltz jump, waltz jump, toe loop combination practice idea, it really helps to get into the right take off position. Oh..... it feels so good as I finally feel like I'm really learning something. I don't know if my waltz jump is getting better, but I think it does since I did so many waltz-waltz-toe combinations and tried so hard to kick my right leg out.
Spin is still a problem, my spinning leg is leaning too much forward, thus making too much noise by the toe pick, which also prevent me from spinning fast. Now that I can do a toe loop, I think I can unlearn and relearn my spin as well to get to the good position. It really feel so good, really feel like I know I can do it with more practice.
Yea, yea, yea, I know for many people, learning a toe loop is so easy, but not for me. I'm thrill.
