About This Book

A practical, illustrated manual teaches figure skating technique from basic equipment and posture through elementary and advanced school figures, including circles, changes of edge, threes, loops, brackets, rockers, counters, and spins. It emphasizes mastery of foundational school figures before developing individual free-skating style, and includes pair skating, waltzing, exhibitions, judging and competition guidance, and rink considerations. Photographs and step-by-step descriptions demonstrate body position, blade edges and footwork, with advice for costume and skate selection and a recommended training progression for skaters of varying ages and abilities.
