After Swan Bells, we all made our way to the pool for the Duet and Team Tech competitions. I was very happy to have "dry" day and cheer on my teammates. First up were Natalie and Jenni in their Duet Tech.
Can you believe these two just learned this routine a few short months before the competition? Well done, ladies!
You may have noticed common elements in all of these tech routines. That's because four figures, split to walkout, porpoise, 2 ballet leg positions and a huron thrust, must be performed in the listed order.
Depending on the type of routine, solo or duet/trio/team, you must also have a connected action. In all the techs, you have to show propulsion with an arm in the air. In the team techs, you must show a sequence, straight line and circle. And you have to do it in under 1:50 seconds for duet/trio/team and 1:30 for solo.
In the midst of all these requirements, you have to find a way to be interesting while doing the exact same elements as everyone else.
Now that you have an idea of what to look for, here's the team tech for your viewing pleasure.
It also helps to have really good music that won't put the judges to sleep. 'Cause they have been sitting there for an awful long time. Speaking of the judges...one of them complimented our team as being the most technically sound.
Way to go, ladies!!!
