Blue Ropes 1 - 25 - 14

Ropes was awesome! Danielle taught me two new tricks on Saturday. Split Jump and Crazy Legs! So for Split Jump I have the 15ft rope spinning in front of me and I hop 1 foot in, 2 feet in, 1 foot, ext. It is harder than it sounds but really fun. I absolutely love Crazy Legs! It is such a fun trick. You have the 15ft spinning in front of you and you have to do a 4 step. Right foot in. left over right and over the Honda, right foot back and out, left foot back and out. It is so fun once you get it. I am also practicing the In-Out-and Through, The Drag Accordion, Accordion, and The Spoke Hop. Overall I know quite a few tricks. My fellow White Star teammates and I made a circle and practiced together. Then our whole ropes team made a circle and we did the flat loop routine 2 times. We also learned how to do the salute for shows. You put your left arm up and slightly curved in and right foot back. We have 2 more practices until March. I really hope I move to White Ropes I would love to be in the shows this summer. Then I met with my diagramming trainer outside the Volunteer and had her help me with a few of my corrections. I wish I could have been there longer. I love Westernaires so much! But it was still a great day.
