• Forward Crossover (round curves)
  • To execute a forward crossover in a counterclockwise direction, pick up your right foot and cross it over the top of your left foot. Pick up your left foot up off the ice and bring your feet together again. Repeat the same motion as you glide around the circle. *
• Simple Jump
  • Move to the center of the ice and stand on your left foot with your right leg held up in the air behind you. Swing your right foot up and forward and jump up off your left foot, doing a half revolution in the air before landing on your right foot. You don’t have to jump more than an inch off the ice, making it perfect for beginners.
• Skate backwards
• Lunges
  • Skate forward with your arms extended to your sides for balance. Lunges can be done in a straight line or on inside or outside edges by turning left or right. Keep your head up, don't look down at the ice because your back and bottom may soon follow! Lower yourself into the lunge position when you reach a speed that you are comfortable with. Going too fast or slow may cause you to fall unless you have a very good level of balance and control over the move. If you feel you're losing your balance, put your hands onto the ice and try to bring your legs closer together and land on your rear. To come out of the lunge stand up. *
