A blog about skating...from the view of an adult skater. Sometimes I'll write about my own skating journey or about my adventures on my Synchronized Skating team. Other times, I'll write about my own observations as the Ice Monitor at the Ice Rink where I skate. And still other times, I'll write about skating in general, Team USA, the Olympics, or other skating. For now, the names of the coaches and students at the Rink are pseudonymns, but if you know my rink, you'll quickly recognize who is who.

Another night teaching...

So I got to teach again tonight and it went really really well. Apparently the parents are so impressed with me that they have asked Janice to bring me on as a regular teacher, and she agreed! So I'll definitely be teaching every Monday at least and hopefully will add more classes as we progress along. I love teaching! It's so much fun to work with the little ones, learn fun games to play on the ice, and sing silly songs as we go along.

Yay for the Hokey Pokey!

Well...I once said I thought I'd have made a career out of skating...

And now I'm going to have the chance to start. I'm starting to teach in the Learn to Skate program at the rink. Now...I have been a skater, and I have been a teacher, but I have never been a skating teacher, so this should be interesting to stay the least.

Tonight was my first night and I had so much fun. I'm helping to teach "tots". These are little ones aged 3-5 and they are just learning to skate. I love getting to work with them on how to march and how to move and how to play on the ice.

I'm sure there will be a lot to learn, but I'm so excited!
