Tuesday, September 18, 2007, Brooklyn, NY

This Tuesday, we flew in the 1st session of our newest Swing, Catch & Return program.

The 1st group all made the Half Turn catches! Despite having a few wks off, Allegra G. was flying tighter than ever both on the trapeze & trampoline.

Allegra's Back Layouts on trampoline:


Tight-bodied Thais K. is developing her flying nicely out of lines. The earnest Kristin R. had a great night! She remounted the pedestal board for her 1st time before learning AND catching her Half Turn for her 1st time, too! Excellent flying, Kristin! Kristin M. & Maryam both started learning & catching their Half Turns.

Feisty Galit E. made an easy return & dusted off her Flexus Flexus. Maggie F. made a return off her B/E Split. Ever-bright Lidia T. showed initiative by going for her B/E Whips for her 1st times! Good work, Lidia! Interesting Colleen P. is tweaking swing her swing & catching her B/E Whip. Tall Max R. & adorable Lauri W. are slowly finding their swing tempos. Max has moved onto a good unassisted take-off while easily catching his Set Planche. He's more than ready for B/E positions. Mark my words: he'll be catching his B/E Planche very soon...! Lauri is fighting the good fight as she goes for her B/E Split.

French Emmanuelle C. was easily making her "go to" B/E Bird's Nest catches as she tweaks her swing & makes herself ready for new tricks. Quick-study Karen G. started on the B/E of her swing w/promising results. If only we can tame her wild hands during catches. Legal eagle Sharron C. is looking very comfortable w/her Hox Off catches by controlling her rotation off the bar. Ever-comfortable Alex K. is looking stronger swing; the time w/the legendary Peter Gold has been good to her!

Have faith in your flying...
