Last night was very technique-focused, which was a change from our recent routine. We started the 7:30 practice with turn drills and bounce drills (YAY BOUNCE DRILLS). Then we worked on some siwngout fundamentals that were new to some and familiar to others. We had the leads keep their left arms short through counts 5&6, already beginning to establish the connection necessary to stretch anywhere from 7-3. We also worked on varying the amount each partner travels in a swingout, from having the lead more or less circle the follow to a normal, shared-momentum swingout. For the ladies, we worked on the "energizer bunny concept" that says you should continue to move in the direction you were last lead until you are stopped by the next lead. We practiced this by having the leads alternate swingouts and 6ct passes in unpredictable patterns.
During team practice, we ran our routine over and over. It's that time; only a couple of weeks left until we perform!
