    You should organize your video in a playlist in the order that a new skater should follow them! I’ve utilized every single one of your videos and I can skate better than ever thought and I just recently started! I just know that in my own experience, basically having a “weekly lesson” in order for beginners would help so much!
    LOVE your tutorials so much! I wasn’t even able to stand in skates and because of you, I’m transitioning, doing crossovers and everything!

  • @mariamdream
    @mariamdream Před 5 lety +82

    I’ve been practising the heel together toe together, but I haven’t actually tried spinning because I can’t quite get what to do with my feet during the spin. When you spin it just looks like your feet are almost gliding around so I have to admit I’m a bit nervous to try!
    Ps. I love your videos ! A lot of CZcams skaters do a lot of flashy moves and fancy editing with no real training so I treasure yours !!

    • @Dirtydeborahharry
      @Dirtydeborahharry  Před 5 lety +67

      First off … thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you watching and support. When you first start "heels then toes" you will start gaining speed as you pull your arms to your chest. In order to continue to build on that momentum, just pull your arms in tighter and lift your body weight up through your core area thereby lessening the weight that is actually down on your skates. You will start to feel your feet "lift up". At that point … just hold on and go with it. You will feel all of your energy pulling in and up. One foot will be balanced on the toe and the other on the heel.

    SO needed a new video today! My Godmother passed away Wednesday. We're skating tomorrow as a tribute (she loved to skate when she was younger and she was very close to my children, even video taped the birth of 2 of them for me) so...we'll be BEGGING the rink to play Old Time Rock and Roll if we have to!! (Most family's prefer Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" for weddings, graduations parties, etc. OTRaR has been my family's "party anthem" since I was 5...when the song first debuted.) Trying to be happy - I know she wouldn't want us to wallow - but skating with tears might be a bit difficult. Doing it anyway!
