The fact that they’re sexualizing someone they think is a minor (who is probably on the same skating rink as their kids who are also doing the exact same activity of skating) is disgusting.

Gosh what he said is so disgusting… sexualizing someone they believe is a minor, saying that Luna’s “half naked” when she’s literally wearing long sleeves and pants (which indicates that a woman’s outfit is never an ‘excuse’ for them to be sexualised by, as perverts have those horrible thoughts regardless of the situation), commenting on girl’s’ appearance, blatantly talking abt how ‘a man can dream’ (of those disgusting things he had in his mind)… ppl like that should be burnt in hell.

i've always thought figure skating is one of the most beautiful sports and arts out there, it's so satisfying to see. please do post more figure skating videos!!

I wanted to say that is really nice watching you start something new even though you are "older" and you already have the thing that you are known for - ballet -) Sometimes it's really intimidating to start a new sport/hobby and always think what other people are going to say about you. I personally always wanted to dance and try new things (such as figure skating) and by watching your videos I started realizing that you are never to old to do something. I'm really happy for you that you stated a new journey and I'm all here for it!! Keep going!! ⛸️❤️❤️

As a figure skater I love this omg!! Also what skate fits you best depends on your foot shape so I'd suggest going to a professional skate technician if you can to get fitted. Graf 500 and Jackson Mystique and Edea Overture are some good options (my first skates were Graf 500). I'd suggest buying hard guards and soft guards and having some spare laces just in case as well.

I mean we know this kind of guys are out there but you were just innocently having a good time and to hear guys talk like that who are like 52 give me a break!! of course if we were worried about what people thought of us we'd never do a damn thing. I hope you do all the things that you want to do in life and I remember to live your best life!! It takes a lot of guts to try something new let alone video it. It's good to have body awareness.

Honestly just do it. Sign up for a beginner level class if you can afford it. You'll make friends and you won't feel like the worst one

Hi! I'm Ellie: an adult figure skater in college (also, ex-ballerina) with some tips, tricks, and brands! So over the years I've skated (8-10 years), the most important tip is to stay inspired. It can be so frustrating when you're stuck on a move for a long time, but it is totally normal! I combat that by filling my social media with other adult skaters near my level and slightly above my level so I can watch other people working on the same things as me and celebrate their successes with them. That keeps me wanting to achieve and grow with my fellow skaters. A trick (since I also used to struggle with trying to spot during spins), is to figure out where your eyeline is and trace is while you spin. For me, I try to keep my eyes on the middle section of bleachers as opposed to a single spot in the room. That helped me a ton during spins and now I don't feel the need to spot anymore. Another tip/trick is to stretch before you skate, which I'm sure you know as a dancer. Focus on hips, hamstrings, back, and shoulders. Lastly, clothing and brands! I try to remember to try and wear what I'm comfy in (although it is so hard to with men like that). If you wear something else to please others in anyway, you end up focusing on your outfit too much when you deserve to be focusing on your activity. Personally, I wear leggings for my bottoms (usually not a flare as those can hold water more around the ankle if you fall). My favorite type are the hugger line from Aerie- they don't get gross if you fall, the compression is perfect, and I love the pockets so I can put my gloves in them. For tops, sometimes I throw on a baggy t-shirt, but other days I love the lululemon swiftly tech long sleeves or align tanks if I'm feeling like I want a lighter top. You were also 100% right with the lulu jackets, I recently got a define luon jacket and it is AMAZING- 10/10 worth the price. Other little things to wear- pantyhose socks when you have legit skates make an incredible different (cheap ones or the mondor/edea skate socks work. floquiya if you want them a bit thicker and warmer); cheap gloves from target (get a few pairs and shove them into your skate bag); mondor tights if you choose to wear shorts/skirt and tights; any good sports bra is a great asset for jumping so you aren't... sore later lol; Rockerz skate guards are my fave hard guards and Chloe Noel have fun soaker guards (don't forget to dry your blades and put soakers on after!). Of course you'll need some good skates too so make sure you go to a reputable skate shop and get fit- just like pointe shoes, different types of feet work in different skates/blades. I personally have skated in Jackson skates and now Edea skates, but don't work well in Reidell. They even have skate brands (like aura) that take a scan of your foot and custom make your boot! Definetly talk to your skate shop about what you're skill level is and what your goals are as each boot works best for different things (such as single vs double jumps or freestyle vs ice dance). My last brand/clothing tip is something I feel like you'd find fun- in the 2000s-2010s, there was this brand of skating pants by Choe Noel that have a spiral pattern down one leg... something tells me you'd love those! I hope this all helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to dm me on my skating insta @skating.ellie! I feel like my history with ballet is a great asset for my skating, so I'm sure you're going to do well. Have fun skating

Greet informative comment andI’m sure your ballet makes you an even better figure skater. I love how inspired by ballet Sasha Cohen and Oksana Baiul are have you seen their Swan Lake and Dying Swan programs?

Thank you for sharing, Luna. I love this journey for you, and anyone really, including myself. I am also learning to skate for the first time. I have both a gymnastics and ballet background, and have always dreamed of skating. Now, I am finally doing it, and I love it. Also, I’m sorry you had to experience that with those men, it really is disgusting. It’s a social norm that shouldn’t be normalized, and hopefully gets educated out of men in younger generations. However, please don’t let that deter you from your dream and enjoyment of such a beautiful sport (or anything ever for that matter). All the best, keep it up, you will do great!

Gross men aside, you did an AMAZING job! I just finished my first 'learn to skate' session (I'm 45 and have always wanted to skate, so it was time!). I can't get crossovers just yet, but I'm almost there! Those things you're talking about are swizzles and they are totally fun! But man, your turns! The ballerina in you definitely shows, the fact you can do those on your first 'real' lesson is amazing! You should be so proud of yourself. And your outfit was completely appropriate.

I’ve been a competitive figure skater since I was 3, and I loved this!! My biggest advice is that when you DO get your own skates, find a professional skate tech and get fitted! a just like with pointe shoes, it’s sososo important to get fitted properly to help prevent injury! Good luck!!

as a competitive figure skater i love this video!! Being able to spin on your first session is SO impressive! My first skates were riedells, and they’re really great affordable skates for beginners. On another note i am so sorry that you had to be in that situation. Those men are disgusting and the fact that they are married is even more gross. You should be able to wear whatever you feel happiest in Luna!! ❤️ ps Yulia is incredible… watch Kamila Valieva or Isabeau Levito (their skating is very ballerina like!)

im so sorry that that had to happen to you Luna, it really disturbed me and it's sad that this happens :( I really hope you carry on because I think you did amazing, love u!

This was such a beautiful & inspiring video!!! & I’m so sorry you had to hear their disgusting conversation and go through that. hopefully it will not dim your oh so bright light & instead empower you to keep doing you. Great job, Luna 🌙💞 Sending love & positivity

Omg as a figure skater (norwegian champion) i grew up watching you, and actually started doing ballet again, back in 2018 because of you!!! This warms my heart to see you do skating ❤️

So excited for you on this journey. My daughter did ballet from the age of three until 13 and then fell in love with figure skating. Her awareness of her body in space put her ahead of many girls who had skated for a number of years before she started skating. Keep at it and I am sure that you will reach the heights that you want to.

As a lifelong figure skater who was always obsessed with ballet, it’s so amazing to see someone my age in the reversed situation trying skating for the first time!! You did so well in your first lesson, I can’t wait to see how you progress!!

Please don’t let this stop you skating, you improved so much! I would 1000% report this too the place in case they’ve ever had reports of this before and can see who it is!

the way she keeps her head looking to the front in the two foot spin just like she does on ballet makes it so special☺️😍 keep going forward luna, you’ll make it i’m sure💗 as a skater i can tell you’ll progress fast🤩

i'm so in awe with figure skating too! but i could never do it myself i think as the guy said i think i'm over the hill too haha for a few years now ive been following the work of yuzuru hanyu and in my opinion he's literally the best and especially the most artistic skater out there and still he stayed so humble. and his performances are just literal art! if you haven't seen it please do! i hope you will be as fascinated by his way of skating and performing as i am :) his 2018 pyeongchang free skate omg! but anyways i've recently decided to start ballet again after stopping for about 7 years and i think some part in that decision is your work and the last ballet video and the nutcracker videos you did :)

oh my goodness. luna you have no idea how excited i was when i saw the title of this video!!!! being a ballerina is one of my dreams (which is why i started watching your vids like 3-4 years ago) and ice skating is another one of my biggest dreams! ahhhh this is perfect

Girl!! You did SO GOOD for a first time I'm extremely impressed! I hope you're still doing lessons ❤ I'm so sorry about those disgusting men, so awful

as a figure skater (and a learn to skate coach), you did SO well Luna!! To begin to get crossovers in your first lesson, that's literally jumping like 4 levels in LTS. I hope you're still skating and that those men did not put you off the sport forever. Skaters tend to wear tightly fitted clothing (men and women!) because anything too baggy distorts body lines and can get snagged on toe picks. You're not the only one dressing this way is what I'm trying to say (sometimes I just skate in a sports bra!). Regardless of if you plan on sharing it, I hope you're still on your skating journey because it is such a gratifying thing to come to as an adult.

Funny I found crossovers easier than just skating in a straight line and stopping lol. Maybe because I have rolled ankles and naturally go on a slant

im so glad to see that you’re passionate about figure skating too! since the beginning i’ve subscribed to your channel bc i loved how we both have dancing in common and now to hear you’re also in love with figure skating makes me so happy!! for me, i’ve skated from ages 6-10 but then i dropped it (sadly) to focus more on dance and now i want to get back into it! i’ve been watching the winter olympics since i could rmr too (especially this past one with all the drama) and i’ve also been drawn to it! i also got into tonya harding’s backstory and watching her old competition videos leave me in awe! happy skating!

As a ballerina who has in past 6 years got really into figure skating and ice dance, my best advise particularly with spins is try to get out of habit of turning out your standing leg and keep your knee soft, not super pulled up! This will massively aid you in keeping your spins centred and feeling more secure. It took me 4 years to work this one out and was like a magic switch went off when I gave both of these a go in combination!!

I’m so glad your going after your dream. As a figure skater, I speak from experience, it’s hard first time! But I got the hang of it and so will you. I also have been doing it sense I was 2 so you can trust me❤️

As a figure skater myself I wish I had half the enthusiasm that you have. Most days I am saying I want to quit, or I come off of the ice crying. Other days I say I love i skating and want to get better. Your video had me smiling the whole time. Seeing you have so much fun inspired me. Thank you 😁

OMGGG the conversation you recorded 💀💀💀💀 it's terrible

i’m a figure skater and i love this so much. yulia at the sochi olympics was also one of my inspirations. your spins were so good and it was so funny seeing you trying to spot while spinning😭😭. the things you couldn’t name are called swizzles btw. very excited for this series and i can’t wait to see your progress

Awww i love this video this actually makes me want to start figure skating as a dancer as well!!! Do not let that absolutely putrid conversation stop you from achieving your goals ❤️ i can’t wait for more videos!!!

hi luna!! i'm a figure skater and i love it so much! it's so beautiful and so amazing to be able to do and because of your flexibly and strength form ballet, i think you will thrive!! i hope you grow to love it even more through out your learning. the best advice i can give you is definitely layering for the outfits (bodysuit, tight under shirt) because at the beginning of the lesson you will be cold but throughout the skating you will get warmer since you are exercising (i skate in a tank top sometimes!). since i live in Canada, i buy a lot of my clothes from smaller businesses, but, I would definitely get some clothes from lululemon! also, turtlenecks and leg warmers work best for me. hope this helps!!

Im sooo glad you started figure skating because it clearly seems you were having SO MUCH FUN😊🙆 You got this luna, and don't ever let any deprived men stop you. We women are with you. Good luck for the next figure skating lessons🙌

you look like such a natural at this!! I've seen a lot of beginners and you picked stuff up very quickly :) I can't wait to see you do a layback spin, I bet it's gonna look so good! I think ballet will help you a lot especially with arms and flow and things like that. you can usually tell which skaters have done ballet as they're always so graceful. please don't be discouraged by the disgusting old men, go out there and wear whatever you want, be the best skater you can be and have fun

So proud of you for trying something new Luna! great job!

As someone who is a figure skater, you did amazing! I have been doing the sport for over 15 years and have heard many comments like the ones the two men were making. It is weird to hear them still and during competitions and such, they are harder to hear as most the time you are in a dress. People like that are about 80% of why I don't compete anymore! Overall you did such a good job on the ice! Even with the rental skates! Those are some of the hardest skates to skate in! You are such a beautiful skater! Sending much love!

Please keep skating and taking us on the journey I’m ready to see the improvement Ỳour a natural 🖤🖤 and it’s sad to say those men are typical men that think like that .. one of them had more common sense then the other but don’t let It derail your process and progress ✨

So excited to follow your skating journey! I’m an ice dancer, have been skating around 10 years and am starting my career as a professional skater ⛸ The ending of Yulia Lipnitskaya’s routine is called an I-spin. I’d LOVE to teach you to skate so if you ever come to the UK 😇

I love this ! I have been skating for 4 years now . Keep going you are awesome! Ignore those men . Keep it up ! ✨✨

Figure skating is the best and most inspiring thing ever, but it is also so so hard and you need to work so so hard. You fail every single day, again and again, but when you concur a new move, land a new jump or smt if feels like you’re on top of the world and it’s literally the best feeling ever!!!

Hii-Former ballerina and now figure skater-This made me so happy to see! There's for sure a lot of parallels between the two sports, especially when you've been in ballet long enough to catch onto those. The "in and out" moves are called backward and forward swizzles by the way! They're a beginner method of moving on the ice, and yeah backwards are definitely going to take a little more time to get the hang of! Breaking into custom skates is quite a journey, but like the instructors shared, it's just about mandatory to have your own in order to skate well enough for SURE. They make a big difference. Once your skate's blades dull down a little it should be easier to stop-But try putting a little 'omph' into your stops, using your weight may help (If you weren't already).

YESSS Luna i love this video AHHHHHHHHHH

I LOVE THIS! I started aerial circus training after always wanting to do it but having stopped Dance a few years ago and now feeling like it was too late!! Good on you Luuunnnaaa!! Learning a new sport is actually freeing. It reminds me of why I fell in love with sports as a kid. I might start figure skating too, just because I love sports with artistic and feminine movement 🤌🏻🤌🏻

you did great! I skated for 17 yrs and now I coach skating.....I did some ballet and ballet is definitely helpful except for spotting during spins and when you jump your hips are closed and in ballet everything is always turned out, I'm glad you had fun! I love the feeling of being on the ice gliding

I hope we get to see other videos of you figure skating!! Love it 😊

Bro- coming from a figure skater of like two years... you learned more than I probably know in like 30 min- GIRL YOUR SPINS ARE GORGEOUS HOW???

Thank you for normalizing trying new things!!! You’re never too old

Omg when I saw this on for you page I clicked because of the title I didn’t even know it was you I haven’t watched your channel in years I never would have thought you enjoy the sport that I do because I enjoy ballet it seems just as much as you live figure skating and as a future skater myself it’s so inspiring to see people who aren’t figure skaters get out there and try things usually people are scared of the ice you really motivate me to try more and hopefully get a better understanding in some of my moves and programs I’m really sorry for what those men said it just makes me want to dress almost half naked just to irritate other people like that but for my own safety I won’t I really hope you have a great journey Love An old follower

I love this!! You're doing so well and it looks like you're having a great time! I'm sorry about those men but I hope you don't feel discouraged or too self conscious because of their disgusting behavior

You look like you're going to be a natural! You're lucky to already have the coordination and balance and artistry... I really want to try figure skating too and this has totally inspired me.

you’re doing amazing !! i really recently wanted to start figure skating too i love the feeling of ice skating so much 😩

Omg I literally remember being so inspired by watching the same routine when I was younger !!! I rewatched it the other day after watching the figure skating from this Winter Olympics!

not me puking over that conversation. But I am so glad you are fulfilling childhood dreams! I really hopes this becomes a proper series! It's so scary to start new things but soso rewarding, I feel like you could easily motivate others to go for their dreams too even if they are new to it
