Working at my first Freestyle program part 8

I'm testing next Saturday. As my Freestyle choreographer cannot be with me at the test session, my main coach will. I wanted him to see the program before the test session so he'll see where my problems are and be able to actually help at the test. I was a little stressed, because when I go on tests he coaches me for, he wants me very well prepared. This Freestyle test program was put together in 6 weeks and I didn't work much at the jumps and spins, that are the focus of the test. I thought they are good enough for an Adult Pre-Bronze Test, but I know they can all be improved. The lesson went well, and he seemed pleased!

He firstly advised me on the warm up for test and asked me to start with that. It should be 5 minutes..
- forward and backward crossovers with inside edges
- jumps (Waltz jump, Salchow, Half Flip) and spins - don't rush, do them well so I'll have good body memory for the program
- some steps from the program and the spiral.

Then he wanted to see the program without the music. I messed up the Salchow (of course) but he said to keep going. As I finished and walked over to him he asked to see a Salchow. It was ok. He said that even if I mess up something I should keep going and I may be asked to show an element after the program. I knew that, but it was reassuring to hear.

Then he wanted to see the program with music. The elements felt ok, but I didn't really perform it or push. We continued with corrections... He asked me to push after the 2 foot spin (I usually do, but nice reminder) and give him a good spiral (I honestly didn't even try during the program because somebody was in my way). He was ok with it, phew...
Waltz jump was ok.
Salchow: check and wait and press!!! after 3 turn and keep the weight on the left side!!!, coach B said few week ago don't drop the right shoulder. I know that knees shouldn't come together as I jump, he said not to think knee up (as the bunny hop) but kick like a soccer ball
Half Flip: bend the knee more before toe picking to get more high. This was an instant improvement!
Spins: don't rush...
Back pivot: lead with the right heal, push inside of the heal out.

We did another run trough. The elements were ok and I did put more "push" into it. He said nice! Don't forget to smile... He said he is confused about the step that looks like a spiral and to keep it moving so the judges won't think is a bad spiral...

So I feel quite good and quite ready for the test. The dress is almost ready. I've sewn it myself and even blinged it a little bit :) I'll think I'll write a whole post about it soon.
