| Things to think about as you practice... | ||||||||||||||||||||
| -Flag spins: think about keeping a steady tempo as you spin, aka when I'm clapping at practice. If it helps, turn on a song and spin to the beat. Your hands should touch the pole on every beat. If it helps, start slow and work up to a faster tempo. -Tosses in general: do NOT jump. The momentum of a toss comes from your arms, not from you body. If you have to jump to make the flag go around, you're using too much body and not enough arm. Push harder, and you won't have to jump. -Tosses in general: concentrate on making them solid. You want both your hands to hit the pole/rifle/sabre at the same time, this keeps the equipment from wobbling and makes it look solid. -Be confident, think about performing. Don't doubt yourself as you spinning- this is going to be very important when we start performing. The more you believe in yourself, the better you'll spin. |
