I passed all three dances that we tested: Blues - Kilian - Paso Doble.
May 13th was my final lesson with coach Vitali. It was DO or DIE. I brought my loving husband to the rink to record what I thought would be 1 virtual test: The Blues.
Instead we ended up skating 3 tests: Blues, Kilian and Paso Doble. We had never even skated a full test pattern of the Kilian in my lessons.. ever. Paso Doble maybe once.
After review of the dances we felt I had a chance at a pass since I’m testing 50+ which allows a little more leniency, but honestly I did not expect to pass all three. It goes without saying “I wish I skated better”
But time was ticking. My coach is moving to Texas where he and his wife will be coaching at the Children’s Health StarCenter Multisport in Northlake TX.
Without further ado - I present - my best effort after a solid year of working on these dances and received 3 passes by all three judges.
The final dance of this level is the Starlight Waltz. It will have to wait for another day.. and sadly another coach.
Thank you Vitali for all your patience and support over the past 4 years.
