Tonight was a pretty smooth night w/some more 1st times & better flying...!
After remounting the board w/ease, hardworking Lisa B. was tackling her Half Turns to the mat/net w/more confidence before making some Uprise Shoot catches w/our Manny. Elegant Maryam W. is making it all the way to her back w/her Splits to the mat/net w/a half turn down w/a touch of violence. Type A Elena G. was tweaking her Force Out Turn Around by pulling a little longer w/her left arm before making B/E Splits catches OOL. Determined Tanya E. is also working on her half turn to the mat/net off her B/E Splits. She's also working her returns off of catches better than ever!
Armed w/a stronger swing, the creative Suzanne M. started working on her Cut Away Half. Young, intelligent, cute Zane tried out her Full Twisting Layout for her 1st times tonight before making an easy Layout catch w/me. Before working on her Hox Saulto, the focused Emily S. remounted the pedestal board for her 1st time! As good-spirited as ever, Jen R. worked her remounts to the board w/increasing confidence before working her Cut Away Half. Talkative-in-the-air Leslie W. showed me that she can get into her B/E Splits just fine on the low bar, but refuses to break through that mental block to do it up high.
Positive Renee F. is making it to her back w/more consistency w/her half turn to the mat/net off her B/E Splits. Feisty Galit E. is taking it back to basics by doing a few tricks in lines. We thank Galit for selflessly working the board for us. Accompanied by her Luciano, our wonderful Denise M. is seeking to take her B/E Straddle Whip OOL again. Tense-bodied Fran S. remounted the pedestal for her 1st time!
I want each of the students to remember to work on &/or up to the basics in each class: turn around, remounting the pedestal & "half/halves". Also, blend in much creativity to their flying through their training.
This weekend, many of us are off to Club Getaway for our final intensive trapeze weekend of this year. Tune in again soon to hear all about it...!

Hi Dino! It is always such a pleasure to fly with you all at STREB, instructors and students alike! A huge thank you for all the effort you put into your "Daily Updates".
