Over the last few weeks we have begun weaving (see what I did there, momentarily) silver Standard into the routines. I'm excited for this new chapter and the next set of learning. There's some cool stuff, and I'm trying to remind myself that this is going to take time and repetition. Mucho of it. I also had sort of a light bulb where I realized it's probably best to keep the focus here until the next comp, where the other two styles will be a little plateaued because unless I make a hard swerve from 2 lessons/week to like 20, there is capacity for only so much progress.
This is random and delayed so I'm not feeling it as much, but two sessions ago I arrived to find out the A/C was not working, surprise! Temps were like 80-85 outside, and fans were blowing (there are no windows in the actual studio space, and I'm not even sure if the ones in the back area open or not). It was definitely warmer and I would have worn a sports bra if I had known. I will say that at that moment I was very displeased about it, as it was clear they were not telling people in advance (I saw the look on the face of the student after me). Apparently it had just gone out a few hours before my lesson.
Then, a couple days before the following lesson, I saw a social media post about "fun party even with no A/C". I texted my pro the next day (but still in time for that 24 hour cancellation policy) and asked if the A/C was fixed. "They are coming at X:00, should be fixed by your lesson!" The HVAC truck was just leaving when I pulled into the parking lot, and thankfully the A/C actually was working when I got inside.
Then for reasons I don't understand but tend to eyebrow raise at, for a different party (but same studio) this weekend someone made a point to call out how nice the A/C was (it felt oddly forced, like a subtle message to anyone who had complained). Errrr... OK, congratulations.
