Think I can do it? I'm certainly gonna try.

I think you can do it! Three months ago my LI 3-turns barely turned and my waltz 8 was slooooow

I think the step forward is just something you have to get used to...it gets easier with practice. I had a harder time with the inside step forward in the 3-turn pattern than I did with the outside step forward on the waltz 8. Have you done that one yet?

Way to go!

Coach had me work that new 3turn pattern going for power AND control yesterday -Whoaaaaa pretty soon it turns into Mr. Toad's Wild Ride if you push too hard. Good job.

I can do the step from right to left easier than left to right--I frequently put my foot down, and they are noisy.

As for the waltz 8, the step is the hardest part about it.
