I feel pretty, oh so pretty

Finally!

I have seen these moves done by students and wanted desperately to learn. But I had no idea what name my studio calls them. I've seen the left one online called mermaid. But of course, we don't call it that. We call it saildance. And its cousin on the right: music box. Both require an insane amount of strength. They're deceptive in appearance. They look easier than they are. And with music box, you're meant to circle around the silks once or twice. I only got a half turn and was done. But I can build on that!
And I for sure need to work on my single footlock from the air, so I can get higher. I'm so close to the ground because I did my footlock from the mat.

Splits!

I've been working on flexibility for a couple years now. Slowest process ever! But hey, they look nearly flat. And the teacher praised me, saying my hips were so squared.

Return to silks

I've returned to silks. I took about 6 weeks off and restarted silks in early March. Been trying to build back my strength, and silks is the best way to do that. And I'm looking pretty!
