This Saturday's classes were relatively packed w/some good flying plus friends old & new...!
Tina's hands were getting beaten as she practiced the B/E of her swing. The quick & tense-bodied Fran smoothed out her swing a little bit but still rushed on a few moments. Our Denise M. flew w/the students, getting her B/E Straddle Whip & half turn to the mat/net back under her belt. Denise has fallen prey to the "instructors' curse" of never flying once becoming an instructor! And, the long time flyer & friend, Evin L., drifted back onto the flying trapeze after letting her shoulders rest for a few months. Evin hasn't lost a step w/her swing tempo & positions! The yoga & conditioning she's been doing has benefited her very well as she dusted off her solid B/E Splits & Cut Away Half.
Our Alyssa brought in a group of her friends to fly for their 1st times! Mark was very calm & confident through the whole class. Jenny kept asking me for an alcoholic drink to calm her nerves as her cute, 2 1/2 yr old son was cried each time she went up the ladder! Amanda appeared somewhat nervous despite being a professional skier! Wendy was a bit fidgety on the bar & w/her hands but managed to steady herself for her catches. And, Cindy was pretty much a shoe-in w/her focused demeanor & spot-on movements. Each of them made their 1st Knee Hang catches by the end of the class! I hope to see them in our air again sometime soon!
As we finished our classes, we got to see the Streb performers warm up. It's always such a nice thing to feel the growing energy before the shows & watch the attractive bunch of performers gather & stretch.
