  Ahhhh the part where the exit foot slides away in the direction it had been going is exactly what I needed. I kept trying to just pick it up but it always caught and scraped - or worse, it'd turn into a cheaty half-swizzle. Tried this today and it feels instantly so much smoother. Thank you!

  I needed this video. When I learned to skate decades ago, I learned the two-foot spin the way you describe (toe, heel). But my current coach wants me to do it with the feet turned in, which is physically very awkward for me. Nice to know I didn't learn it "wrong" so long ago.

  @@jazzupyourlife.official rather than “weight” which implies using the braking foot for support of your body, think of applied pressure. In your mind, Divide your foot/blade into 3 areas from front to back. From the tip of your Toes to beginning of your foot arch being the 1st 1/3. Arch to beginning of heel area is 2nd 1/3 and final 1/3 is all heel. Pressure will be applied in the centre 1/3 of your blade on the inner edge.

  Great video! If I got from two foot to one foot, I find my skate/heel catches the ice.. do you have any tips as to why this is?

  @IceSkatingLondonАй бұрын

  Heel contact is a common problem when first learning the Teapot. There’s a few fixes depending on how bad the problem is. For only slight contact problem: Try rotating the extended leg by a few degrees (toe out and heel inward). This would make the blade heel further from the ice. If rotation doesn’t fix the problem, it could be a combo of muscle recruitment and balance. Hmmm, a video will make explaining this easier. (Someone play some waiting room music….)

• 
  @clairbearushin2dstarАй бұрын

  @@IceSkatingLondon thanks for the reply. It's probably to do with muscle recruitment and balance as I only got back into skating 5 months ago after about a 10 year break and currently working on silver ^^ guess I had better start working out! BTW, it's nice to see an adult do the teapot. When kids do it, they go to the extreme and it felt like that's what I had to work towards, but you've set a more achievable standard, so thank you 😊

• 
  @IceSkatingLondon2 ай бұрын

  Thanks for your question. On a super low friction surface (ice) controlling our movements is so split second. So let’s talk timing 🙂 Working on a clock face, the stroke should start by head up towards 12 o’clock, then around the clock face by no more than 2 numbers (to 10 or 2) to correct any over rotation. (If you still have problems, adjust this concept to only 1 number, either 11 or 1) Be sure to have directed the outward motion of the stroke to get as much space between your feet (lead and follow style) as you can. Practice letting the skates run in this long stance (you should look like an Egyptian hieroglyph or Michael Jackson if your knees are bent and you style your arms right 🙂) Think of the final return together of the feet as if reversing a car into a parking space. Pivot your stroking foot from its place at 10 or 2 o’clock to aim that heel for a collision course with the front end of the gliding foot. Your stroking foot heel should lead on the way back toward the toes of your standing/gliding foot. At the last moment, allow your stroking foot to draw parallel and avoid colliding.

  As far as I can tell, I’m not twisting my skating leg, but I am having problems with turning inwards. I don’t lose my balance either, I just turn in a circle! Is there anything else I can do to correct this tendency? By the way, I am loving this whole series. I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else on KZread and I can’t believe it’s not more popular. Although the order of skills is different from the Learn to Skate USA program I am enrolled in, the step-by-step nature of your video series is still incredibly valuable.

  when sliding backward, please advise, how to use the edge properly. Is the outside edge more used and where the weight should be or both edges are used ? If I lean on the inside edge probably I will not maintain the proper balance.

• 
  @IceSkatingLondon3 ай бұрын

  Thanks for your question. As this is intended to be a long sustained glide in a neutral blade position, we are seeking an upright blade (which is commonly referred to as a flat). You are correct that an inside edge and/or a pronated (dropped arch) foot position would not provide you with the desired learning outcome. Focus on trying to get the sole of your boot parallel to the ice and your blade perpendicular/upright. This will in fact “feel” much more toward the outside edge if you have had a tendency for inward lean of the foot/blade.

• 
  @IceSkatingLondon3 ай бұрын

  The Festival ChaCha is only used as a recreational dance in the UK. Technically any skater able to perform a Left forward outside 3 turn competently can learn/skate this dance. I’m a firm believer that once a skater can skate the turns & steps which compose a dance, why not enjoy trying to learn it?! Only similar dance in UK test structure for a point of reference would be Swing Dance which contains a single Mohawk but has much more backward skating and is twice the duration per sequence.

  Alignment of your feet/blades is essential to keep the flow. At early stages of learning skaters often complete the cross action without allowing the feet and blades to get to a *near* parallel alignment (whilst the legs are in crossed formation). Practicing the crossing lemon exercise and holding a parallel glide after each cross will help drill this instinct. Alternative problem can be scratching into toe picks.

  Is the push with a toe pick?

• 
  @IceSkatingLondon4 ай бұрын

  Thanks for the question. As this drill is to prepare for full change of edge, the focus is upon the shapes we draw on the ice and also the coordination of the limbs as they move back and forth. In a full change of edge the free foot will not touch the floor, so how the blade of the free foot meets the floor in this drill is not a high priority. So you can choose to use your pick or to use the flat of your blade as long as the limb movements and the pattern over the ice are becoming more natural.

  Are the alternating cross foot balances the same as cross rolls? it looks as if she might be on outside edges here.

• 
  @IceSkatingLondon5 ай бұрын

  Thanks for your question. The cross foot balances (first drill on video) focus on the lead foot being a flat to inside edge. For this drill it is important that we are not allowing the lead foot to be a clear outside edge. The same drill can be used (allowing the lead foot to take outside edge) to benefit crossroll weight transfer. The detail of which edge the lead foot takes IS vital to differentiate between these two different skills. Hope that helps

  You make a valid point, although it may take a little time and practice, this basic shape is achievable by most humans without being Elastagirl. Technically we can only call this move a spiral once the back leg is level with of higher than our hip, but it can also look nice at any angle on the way there if we work on our alignment and selling it with intent (nice arm extension, head up, shaping the back leg to a full stretch or even bent into a balletic attitude).

  I have lessons at my local rink, but they're a bit all over the place. I started from zero last year at the ripe old age of nearly 58!! The teachers vary in skill and I've realised that I have to take a step backwards and go back to basics with one-to-one lessons for a bit. The group lessons jump all over the place, with one particular teacher being obsessed with getting me to skate on one foot around a disc on the ice. I can't even glide consistently on one leg in a straight line! Well I can one side but not the other!! I use Bauer recreational skates and they don't know what to do with me as I clearly don't want to learn figure skating, I want to skate like a hockey skater! I love your lessons and I wish my teachers followed a programme like yours, especially because you include the way to do things if you have hockey, or hockey-type skates! Anyway, how could I not follow a fellow "Humphreys"?

  When I cross my free foot, I'm bringing it "over the top" of the skating foot, like a cat hopping over an obstacle. However I see that you are bringing your free foot "around the front" of the skating foot, like a person walking around an obstacle. Am I doing the crossover incorrectly?

• 
  @IceSkatingLondon7 ай бұрын

  Some folks coach the cat hopping over. The method I prefer is a progression which starts with the “crossing” foot passing ahead or “over taking” the skating foot. I’ve found it provides a shorter learning curve to get to smooth weight transfer and a clean under stroke.

  To be sure of our terminology and there is no crossing of wires, “toe picks” defined as the jagged area at the front of a figure skate and “edges” defined as the two parallel blade edges running the entire length of the blade… This exercise is skated on a neutral blade while gliding (some would describe that as a flat blade) When on the Pop we are up on the toe pick.
