Thursday, August 16, 2007, Brooklyn, NY

This night, a few of us got together to fly before we started the next round of programs classes. It was good to see that many of us haven't lost a beat though we haven't been flying together regularly in a few weeks...!

Effervescent Tina worked on her B/E Straddle Whip w/good, catch-able hands. Her swing is looking better!


Adorable Lauri W. made progress w/her B/E Splits. Closer & closer, bit by bit, Lauri! Positive Renee F. threw a nice Planche Turnaround before making numerous catch & returns w/her B/E Splits. Delightful Debbie D. worked on her B/E Whip. She's learning to overcome fears to fully open up her Whip in pursuit of that half turn to the mat/net.


Even though she hasn't flown in months, the powerful Molly G. hasn't lost a beat as she worked on her Layout before making a B/E Splits catch.


Hardworking Rachel C. worked on her Layout before throwing some half-time Shooting Stars. Her hands ripped past the point of going on, but we'll be seeing her again soon! Here's Rachel's half time Shooting Star:


And, Jen R.'s first round trip ever!!! Her take-off was good; her swing was more powerful than usual; the B/E Splits catch was smooth; her apron work was just right; her return to the fly bar was perfectly distanced. She was tight & swept hard, so her remount of the pedestal was inevitable! Great work, Jen!

The winning team...!


World-traveling Jodi R. stopped by from CA to say, "Hi!" & take a few swings! It's very good to see her again! As always, our Manny M. & Susie W. were invaluable w/their teaching, experience & presence.

In the background, we had aerialists such as Fran S., Arron & Natalie D. practicing silks, lyra & static trapeze.

This weekend, some of us will be at Club Getaway once again, so tune in next time to see how we flew...!
