Free Dance Practice -  11/4/2000

I don't really have much to post today.  I only used my digital camera for a few pictures, using my film camera for the most part.  I wanted to get as many pictures as I could over the last practices, so I can actually watch the performance on Sunday.  That is, unless they wear different costumes.  Then I will have to take more pics.

There was no Dance competition at all today.  There was a practice session at 3:00 and another one at 4:00.  M&G were in the first session.   The Free Dance is tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, followed by the exhibitions.

This is another picture-of-a-picture of the reverse lift.  I had my film camera set on rapid-fire, and took five pictures during this lift.  The previous descriptions have been pretty accurate, however, his legs do no rest on her knees.   There is some serious balance going on here.
