Well the last elements that she tested me on, was:

Inside Mohawks, outside 3 turns, Lunge, Backwards Crossovers and a couple of other things.

I dunno what Gamma is hehehe.....


By myself i've been able to do the Spiral Forwards and backwards. Tap Toe, Bunny Hop, inside 3 turns, lunge and turn backwards, 1 foot spin.
I've also started to try and do a waltz jump - I can take off but cant land on one foot yet....but im getting there!

Well done!

If you have a trouble with waltz landing you may want to practice the landing position separately from the jump. Just do back crossovers then a glide on the landing leg, a hop, without rotation, and landing - try to hold the landing pose as long as possible. Good luck!

Hmm... If you know the tap toe and inside 3-turns well, you just might be ready to pass Delta.
