ladyspriteAnd finally, after 3 or 4 weeks off and a week of review, I'm back to learning new things in silks class.
I'm with the same teacher, but I think I've finally learned how to get along with her. And there's one other person from last class who's back with me again, which kind of makes me feel bad for the third person in our class. She's in the same position I was last session - least experienced, struggling to keep up, not really meshing with the instructor's style, and beating herself up about it. I'm torn between wanting to say something to her and not wanting to sound condescending or belittling - I know when I was in that headspace, *nothing* would have sounded good or supportive. I do hope it gets easier for her.
Meanwhile....
Half Monty - en dedans wrap both feet, pike over. Stirrup the silks under your feet and grasp them from the outside, hold in front with underhand grip. Straddle up and over, bend knees to hook them and let go with hands. To get out, grasp up from behind, above your knees. Straighten legs, pike over and out.
Crossback Straddle, Layout Entrance - double foot locks. Angle one hip towards one silk so one foot is slightly in front. Flamenco grip on the back silk with same hand, other hand grips by your hip. Roll towards the lower (back foot) hip, 360, into a layout. Grasp the other silk with the free (lower) hand, and open into a back cross.
