 U.S.

a top-notch visual demonstration of the preliminary and pre-bronze compulsory ice dances of the U.S. Figure Skating test structure.
“I love the
DVD and have found it so helpful. It has helped me
progress much faster. It's a wonderful complement to
on-ice coaching and practice. There is so much to
remember and the video is a great tool to help recall the
steps, patterns and music for each of the first six dances."
Portia Bonavitacola – Pennsylvania
“ I believe that anyone who watches the video and pays close
attention will be inspired to take their
own
skating to a
higher level."

format. The skaters really shine as role models for
beginning dancers.
They
have secure edges, good
carriage, excellent unison, strong dance frame, great soft
knee action, a feeling for the character of the various
dances, nice style and neat, skilled
footwork.”
Ruth Caley – USFS gold dance test judge – New York
