Chapter 20 - A fast moving...

In the first six days, I thought I could not. I felt dislocated and my body indicated signs of exhaustion. On some afternoons, Ania and Camille made me company and advised, since my training was the following schedule to them. This helped me a lot on the technical side, undoubtedly the most complex. How did ballet since childhood, I had some ownership of the artistic part. I started to dedicate all my extra time to skating and just wanted to be in a ring. Grandma did not like that decision, but did not object.

After a few weeks, I realized that the other coaches and choreographers were also adept at innovation. They used footwork (foot work), jumps (jumps), spins (spins), crossets (shifts) and figures (artistic elements) to the limit and individual perception according to the evolution of each one of us.

At first, these words sounded so strange, I came to believe he was making crazy and would not have the ability to skate. Still have not given up, every time I fall, get up with more vigor.

Once every two weeks, Regina and Tatiana personally accompanied our progress giving the appropriate guidelines. In five months, I grew dramatically and began to master more complex elements, but it was not easy. I trained hard and took every free time to improve.

Regina watched us carefully and following the advice of Camille, I try to take the next step. During an autumn presentation that Miss Bonnet prepared, we would do a number to a jury and it would allow us to level up.
