As you can tell, Austin was pretty good to me. :) 3 4ths and a 3rd. And I really wasn't expecting much from this feis at all, as I got REALLY sick the Thursday class before and wasn't able to work through some of the trouble spots I wanted. I also had a mini-meltdown in-between my hard and soft shoe but Sis was able to talk me down. So glad, because I ended up getting 4th in treble jig. Skipped hornpipe because I'm not 100% in that dance yet, and I felt like I nailed Jockey, but ended up getting nada and a "timing" comment from the judge. "Er, there was nothing wrong with your timing in that dance," The Teach told me. "S/he doesn't know what they're talking about." I was glad he confirmed that because if anything is my problem, it is definitely not timing/rhythm. Oh well!
Most of the other comments I got were about cross, so I guess I know what I need to work on. I'm not sue HOW MUCH I can work on that because THIGHS, but I'll give it a shot. :)
The ceili team is coming along too, although I haven't discussed that much. One of the adults helping us work on our lines and movements recorded our dancing. I watched myself doing ceili and surprisingly didn't want to quit immediately afterwards, haha. I definitely found some things I didn't know I was doing that need improvement, but I feel encouraged rather than discouraged about it. :) Teach is starting new classes on Saturdays, which I am thrilled about because I have no life. Between dance 3x a week and bootcamp at least 2x a week, I am going to be one busy bee.
And now, summer! Hoping it'll be full of new choreography, private lessons, practice with the team and fun breakthroughs.
