Rope Burn..

For valentines day my super sweet hubby bought me a new toy to play with! It's called a Cordee Lisee and it looks like this.

I'm still working on this move.

My progress has been rather slow. Reason being that no one in the state of Utah teaches this form of dance. So I'm pretty much training my self, its been a lot of trial and error and LOTS of broken skin and rope burn. I'm hoping to have a routine put together in the next couple of months. I'm learning from a book we found on-line but the problem is that it is in french and seeing how I don't speak french I'm learning off the pictures.

In the video I posted of our Promo video for Aerial Amore, I'm the cute girl on the rope who does the pretty cool looking drop in the beginning. What you don't see is that drop is the second one I did during the filming. The first drop wasn't so successful. It went something like me falling about 10 feet and landing on my back. Thank you for crash matts! Don't worry I'm okay and all limbs are still intact. However I did get a pretty nasty rope burn across my back, I'm anticipating a pretty mean looking scar. I sometimes stop and think to myself that I might kinda like pain.. I look at the things we do on a daily basis, not one of them feels good and most the time I leave class covered in bruises, rope burns, or blisters...

 So why do I keep going back? I'm going look past the pain factor and say maybe because it's something new and something that only a handful of us do. That sounds way better.. Yep I'm going to go with that.

Here are some more pictures to keep you entertained-
