Rally-FrEe Champion title (R-FE/CH) and first freestyle legs

REDD had our sort-of-annual live event at the beginning of February. Chimera "No Audience Member Shall Move While I Work" Monstra and I earned the RF Champion title with scores that would have been quite good if not for his major distracted episode on Saturday and the breakdown of the backwards weave behavior (which was used on both days). Here's Saturday, which scored 138:

Here's Sunday, which scored 167:

We debuted in Musical Freestyle and earned two novice legs. The song we performed to was Jill Sobule's "I Kissed A Girl" (edited down for length). As I look back on our routine, I think that it is quite boring and has too many technical positional elements (ie side passes, backing up, pivots). I'll record and submit one more leg without major changes, but I'm looking forward to developing something that's more fun for both Cai and the audience for our next level. On Saturday, he was precise but slow and not into it. On Sunday, I changed the beginning to start off with a little jog, and had him do a couple of jumping hand touches during the routine. The hand touches look awkward and mess up our flow but successfully kept his attitude up. Here's Sunday:
