Summer is OVER - Back to Skating - Big Changes

Catching up on 3 vids.  

#1 was my first day back on the ice with a short lesson on my OLD blades.  MK Dance.  (They are for sale)

#2 was my first day skating on my new blades.  MK Dynasty. So far I love them.  They are the same length as the MK Dance blade (short in back) but they have a bottom toe pick that I can use while solo spinning.  I could not get centered on the MK Dance blades.  They also have a substantial top toe pick.  Not as meaty as the MK Phantoms I have on FS skates but honestly - at 65 I’m not jumping much and these could handle anything I want or need to do.

#3 was my first dance lesson on the new blades with Vitali.  One hour lesson.   When I edited the video on my phone I didn’t notice my foot placement on the dances.

They are far from perfect BUT  right out of the gate I see much less wide stepping than before.  Is this from the new boot/blade combo or just because I’m trying harder to fix what failed my dance test?  ðŸ¤” 

My stamina is very low from not skating and as you can see I put on a good 15lbs this summer and on our 3 week Mediterranean cruise.
