I smile so much reading your messages! You make it so exciting for all of us to follow along your journey to become an ice dancer. I'm thrilled for you!
Great! Let us know how it goes!If everything go's well,I'm going on Aug.,26th to work again with my 2nd coach.
I had my first lesson today with my new dance partner. It was fun!
That's a great start, purpleskates, keep us posted on your progress!
Looking forward to your report!
...yas, overedge is right - ...practise standing on one foot off ice, and bend your knee while doing so, it will give you strong leg muscle!
Your reports read like you had a good time in the ice!
Yes, it is something to work up to.Bend the knee of the leg I'm standing on??
Yes, it is something to work up to.
I am not good standing on one leg with the other extended behind me on dry land. I work on it regularly. On land, if you start wobble, put a finger on your belly button. It's what my gym coaches told me to do. Oddly, it does help! To make it extra hard, I close my eyes. And sometimes I bend my standing leg. Doing different things works different muscles. If something starts to feel easy you can try different positions or stand for a longer amount of time.
So,bend my knee,lift my other leg up,bend it,and put it aganst my skating leg, right?
Yes, keep the foot you are lifting close to the other leg. My first coach called it "boot to boot." Keep the skating boot of the foot you've lifted close to the foot of the skating foot/boot.
