Learn Two Fun High Kicks for a Solo Figure Skater

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hello Skaters! Welcome Back! Today I am fulfilling a special request and teaching you two fun 'High Kick' tricks you can do solo! The first one is a fan kick, you can do it alone or you can do it into another move. I love using it as an entrance to a back outside edge pivot, but it also works great into a back spiral or stepping out into a spin. The second is called a Kick spin! These are awesome to use it light entertainment programs to add some extra pizzazz! Have fun!

    Yes! It really does look like a loop! Thinking of it that way also helps you get your weight onto the inside leg properly

    Wonderful video. It should be kept in mind that height of the kick is not just dependent on flexibility but also strength.

    Hey coach Julia, do you think there could be a video on an advanced step sequence? There’s a beginner, and intermediate one, what about one with half flips, counters, rockers, choctaws, etc?

    Hi Coach Julia. I started taking skating class for the first time this spring at the age of 42. I’m not athletic, and I realise I don’t know how to use my hips, so I struggle a lot. Would you please point me to some off ice exercise? 🥺🥺🥺 I tend to wrongly depend on my arms or shoulders to help me turn at the spot (3 point turn, 180degree turn at the spot) which cause me to lose balance and become prone to falling. Then I become more scared, so I slow down, which doesn’t help with the move. Hope coach Julia can give me some pointers as to how to control my hips. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 zillion thanks

    So, a fancy mohawk? ;-) I still have the flexibility of a sedentary 43-year-old but when I get my mohawk sorted I could probably manage a "low kick" version of this if that wouldn't throw the physics out too much. Very excited today because I'm finally getting the hang of my 2-foot turns (which I've been stuck on for 6-9 months, just convincing my brain to *turn* before I've glided to a stop), and also my backwards 1-foot glides (ditto, working on holding the glide). It's been really frustrating at times so now I'm feeling very bouncy. Plus it means I might be able to segue some practice time to 3-turns and those mohawks!

    Oh my goodness, congrats on the turning progress! I know it can be scary to change direction while skating, so kudos for pushing past that fear. And yes, the fan kick is a very fancy outside Mohawk. Good Eye.

    Hey! I have a question. I'm starting my one foot spin and I'm getting a lot of pain in my toe/ball of foot and can't seem to stay off my toepicks. The pain is making it hard to stay where I'm supposed to and I was wondering if you knew anything I can do about it. It's really affecting my spins. Thank you! :)
