1) Reach for the stars (Attitude) – I could hold my leg / foot and lean away, but was struggling to do this hands-free. Needed to get my knee pit tighter into the pole, get my knee more parallel / in-line with my hips instead of being higher, and needed push my hips forward more
2) Falling angels (left-leg hang to right-leg hang) – I manage to do one switch (outside to inside angel) 3 separate times. It was quite slow (I was really slow and careful about it) and not particularly smooth. But I guess that’s alright to start with…
3) Invert, thigh hold (future combo is thigh hold into inside angel, which I didn’t work on) – was ok. It was a bit difficult to slide down in thigh hold though because the pole was too sticky
4) Invert into cat-ripple/caterpillar – J said my cat-ripple was really good and strong – yay! I didn’t actually manage to see myself though as the mirrors were too far away
5) Flying body spiral into ballerina – did this on the weaker side (left hand on pole). Need to really lean body down / to the other side of the pole to get the inside arm down and reach out for the inside leg
6) Hangback into half-moon – did this quickly. Not sure if it looked nice or not.
7) Hangback to elbow-stand and straddle roll-down – was okay. Stayed upside down but bum was lightly resting against the pole. Roll-down was quite slow and controlled though, so pretty good.
