HOW TO GET AND PUT SPEED ON WHEN ICE-DANCING

[FSWer]

Say, I'm not sure if I ever asked you all this. But how would you get and put speed on when Ice-Dancing? Or do you? Can anyone help? Thanks.

For all skating, you generally get speed by bending your knees and pushing against the ice with your blades.

The specific ways of pushing will be different depending what kind of stroke you're doing with each step. Work on that with your coach -- we can't just tell you in words how to do specific kinds of steps.
