So this is the basic brochure, this one is for April but it will give you a sense of what I am doing in the way of a program.
Every Sunday and Tuesday I have two hours of figure skating ice time and during that time I meet with a private instructor, Anna, for 15-20 minutes. during this time she will teach me new techniques and skills which I can practice for the rest of the time!

Yesterday I had my first practice and today my arms are super sore because you have to keep them up the whole time, I also learned to 'swizzle' which is a C-Cut, basically you are gliding then you bend your knees and push out with both legs at the same time. She and I worked on basics and she's super particular with technique and perfection so that will be really great for me to truly learn how to skate.
I went out onto the ice expecting to feel pretty comfortable, but it was so hard transitioning into figure skates. With my hockey skates i am on my toes, with these I have to lean on my heels, but I only fell twice..yayy!
