This is me with my tail between my legs. Starting over on the American Waltz after failing my virtual test a couple weeks ago. Coach Vitali isn’t happy about it but I get it now. That three turn is what is the signature of this dance and while we keep the pattern in control my steps are clearly not AW Three Turns.
Wide stepping is the #1 problem for skaters who dance with freestyle backgrounds and for adult skaters to overcome. Wide stepping is akin to “training wheels”. Going for the balance point but having the security there in case you miss. The solution is to build stronger edges and I need to practice both alone and with coach Vitali getting my feet back together after every step.
