When is the last time you focused on taking to the ice for a competition? More importantly, when is the last time you actually practiced it? Most skaters are so focused on their program and all their elements, they never actually think how they take to the ice at a competition. While you may not think anything of it, the judges and audience are already having their first impressions before your name is even called.

So in this lesson we're going to show you how to stand out from all the other skaters and give off an amazing first impression. Learn how to make those judges sit up and take notice before your music has even started playing. And the best news? It can all be done with simple stroking and pumps! No need for difficult steps and turns, just simple skating skills coupled with amazing presentation. And as a little bonus, we'll show you how to leave the ice so they remember you for next time! 

 In this lesson you'll learn:  

- How to take to the ice and give an amazing first impression 
- How to turn a introduction from boring to unforgettable 
- How to leave the ice with beauty (even after a bad skate)  

Happy Skating!
