First off, I apologize for my long hiatus. As work and skating ramped up, life got a little hectic. But I am proud to say that today is my 3 month skating anniversary! I ought to be given stock in IcyHot, seeing as I've probably bought the company out by now.
This past week, I started taking some beginning ballet classes as a compliment to my ice time. Many of the movements are quite similar to figure skating, and I'm hoping to gain some grace and musicality out of the deal as well. I have committed to doing my first competition in August and have three months to buckle down!
Thrills: 3 turns, mohawks, waltz-eights, forward spirals, two foot spins, waltz jump, salchow, half flip
Spills: Flip jump, loop jump, one foot spin (50% success rate), sit spin
Ballet will be a huge help with your figure skating, as you progress you will want all the turn-out you can get!
