Root Beer Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have the tiniest video ever of Bandit from a recent Freestyle training session. I cannot even say how blown away I am by his natural talent. He already has a sense of musicality, and he just gets what we are doing here!! I have not really started to formally train his heeling (other than stationary position) - this is really just movement to music work. I'm not sure if I am going to go with a tighter heel or keep it looser - not as loose as this, but maybe not super close, either. I rather like the way he is featured with a looser heeling style. I also don't think I am going to try to train him to high step. I like his natural movement A LOT!!! He is still working out where he needs to put his feet when we do this, but I love the look of his movement. He is elegant, and I can see that developing beautifully as he matures. He might high step on his own, but I don't think I'm going to mess with it!! A friend of mine took more video and I'm going to get it from her next week. I might be able to put something longer together from her footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I can't judge how well he is doing with his Freestyle movement, but he sure looks happy. And that is important. So handsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 He is actually moving in time to the music, which is important in one of the venues where he will be working toward titling! And happy and handsome . . . both a plus! If people watch him and say, "he looks good!", that is extremely helpful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Beer Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 This is a bit longer, but it's less like Freestyle. Still, it's his first choreographed performance!! It was filmed for a fun contest. I might submit it. In any case, he had a blast. I could have lured dance moves with food and it would have looked more "dancy", but this was just more fun for both of us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess's Girl Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 As someone who danced in a production of the Nutcracker for 10+ years and danced the part of the Sugar Plum Fairy, I am very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetlander Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes, it looks like you are both having a wonderful time together. As young as he is, Bandit seems really "into" it. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
