Coffee Club 3-31-17

Another great coffee club with Kim Ferraro-Severson.  Kim gave us some great edging exercises.  We worked on edges forward and backward, power pulls, shoot the ducks and sit and scratch spins!  All in 30 minutes... amazing.

Adult Drop In Coffee Club 3-24-17

Super excited today to have Randy Clark as our guest coach.  Randy is one of our senior coaches at Lilac City Figure Skating Club.  He currently coaches some of our most advanced skaters.  Randy has over 30 years of coaching experience and has coached skaters of all levels, some of which who have competed at Jr. Nationals, US Nationals and International competitions.

Randy is one of our more "technical" coaches.  I was surprised during our class to see him giving us some tips on presentation with head and arm movement!!   Today's video is one of my longer videos, but worth watching and listening to.  I know I will be viewing it over and over.

Things I learned today:  (No discredit to all my other coaches.. but today a few things sunk in)

1) point your toes on edges - upward toe picks are UGLY
2) follow your arm movement with your head and eyes
3) use extra knee bend and ankle strength to push into the ice
4) stiff = unbalanced

Skating with Leprachauns!

It was St. Paddy's Day today -  Hank and I got a little practice in before the lesson on the coffee club ice.

Followed by a fun coffee club with Heather Martin - We worked on edges, spirals, lunges, stops and finished with a pinwheel!

Sadly there were no IRISH COFFEE'S AT COFFEE CLUB !!!

Coffee Club 3-10-17

Sorry viewers.  I have been a little behind in my postings lately.  My involvement with our club's ice show in May, some travel and guest from out of town have limited my time to edit and post video.

Today's Coffee Club was coached by Angela Rasmussen and Larissa Lowell - Mother and Daughter!
Both Gold Medalist skaters - we had a blast trying three turns, double three turns and power pulls.
