My Hobbies Are Painting, Crafts,

I Took Group Lessons At A Rink Near My Home. We First Had To Learn How To Stand Up On The Ice Wearing Skates. Eventually We Learned To Move Forward, But Soon Found Out That It Was Not That Easy To Stop! So That Was Our Next Important Lesson.

There Is No Age, Height, Or Weight Requirement To Skate. It Is Good Exercise No Matter What Your Age Is. If You Want To Be Competitive, Most Start Young. But, I Practice With Many Adult Competitors.

I Was Thrilled One Year When I Was Younger When Not Only Did My Brothers Get Hockey Sticks For Christmas - But I Did Too!

I Think It's A Lot Harder For The Pros To Have A Long Career In Ice Dance And In Pairs. It Seems The Singles Have A Little Bit Of A Longer Career.

I Was A Tomboy Who Liked To Play Rough Just Like My Two Older Brothers. That's Probably Why I Liked The Athletic Part Of Skating - Especially The Jumping!
