No I’m not done with ice dancing, but I do want to get back to working on that coveted Gold Medalist Jacket which I can only achieve by passing all the Gold Level Tests in either Ice Dance, Skating Skills or Free Skating.
* Ice Dance: A long long way off. I still have to test my final Pre-Gold Test and pass it before I start working on my Gold Level Dances of which there are 4. These dances are no picnic. I’d say I will be 2-3 years working on them and I may never pass them.
* Free Skating: Nope never. Not gonna happen. Pre-requisite Must pass Gold Skating Skills first AND then produce a 2:50 program with a ton of jumps and spins - - I think that ship has sailed.
* Skating Skills: Working on it. I know all the patterns and I can do all the steps and turns in small batches but putting an entire test down without a real break for a live or virtual test .. I’m a long way off and my “skills” are not worth of a gold medal .. yet.
But here’s the start of my quest: (ps pretty boring unless you yourself are working on these. I keep all the footage so I can remember my lessons.)
