Wednesday

How my thumb feels tomorrow will dictate whether I try airflares or elbow airflares.  I should probably buy that lino tomorrow so we can get it in at Gymsport.

No Gymsport, regular practice in Rangos.  More gimp styles.  It is improving my one handed footwork and no handed steps.  In addition I'm focusing more on endurance and the quality of my movement.  Matt Limm was at practice and I realized fully that he makes sacrifice every time he comes out music-wise.  I was glad that he put on some popping jams and Teena and I joined him for a little bit.  I keep thinking of elbow airflares as being out of the question when I'm on a normal floor.  Instead I need to man up, I'm starting to notice my crutches more in dancing and in life in general.  Walking tall is my goal now in all endeavors.  In dancing, for me, that means expanding in all directions at once and not sticking to one type or style of motion for more than two practices in a row.  It means definitely not doing moves that I'm comfortable with and if I do those moves I should damn well be doing them in difficult combination.  Also glad that Teena and I went over that commando I wanted to try, even though I ate it hard butterfly twisting under my extended arm lol.

Monday

Practice in Rangos today.

Ming and Kyle were already there, heads are hungry.  Ming told me so as well :)  Pretty light practice today, just drilling handstand walkovers and those stab things that Prabu does.  Devon showed up so we got a chance to run through all the routines we have.  We hit all of them perfect a couple times despite a good number of foul ups.  Also Devon came up with most of the choreography for a new routine bringing the total number of ideas to 4.  We are making good progress on that front, but there needs to be much more done in order to be ready how I want to be for the gallery crawl.  I know I wanted to have both popping and bboying interchange to eat time, but I'm not sure if house should be added.  Right now I'm thinking no and I think maybe we could add that for a longer showcase.  All in all a good productive practice.
