I enjoy your videos. A request. Would you consider starting the video by showing the full move at the beginning and then go step by step exactly as you're currently doing it? It would help to know what you are building up to. Continued success!
I second the motion! 🤗 many times I do not know what the titles mean and it is difficult for me to know which exercise is the goal. Pd: I love your videos! greetings from Mexico❤️
Hi, Coach Julia, I started watching your tutorials on TH-cam 6 months ago. Your videos inspired me so much that I was practicing about 4 days a week. My mum put me in a group class, found a great coach, and I competed my competition two weeks ago. All from your videos. So, please continue with your gift. I will be going to California end of June and would love to stop by spend a bit of time with you, if you are available.
You are making me longing to do ice skating even more. Hehe. You did a great video (again). Very descriptive, but easy to understand with your calm and easy-going tone and usage of your voice. Thank you, Coach Julia!
I am converting from roller skating to ice skating after 15 years of both figures and free and dance too. its so similar but so much harder... I converted my boots over from roller skates to ice skates after buying a pair of ice skates and swapping over my plates. Now with these videos I am finding it much easier. so thank you very much for making these videos for free. :)
Wow, what a big switch! I took roller skating lessons as a child but I switched when I was 12 or 13, so you have a lot more of those techniques drilled in to you. Welcome to the ice, and welcome to my channel!
@@CoachJulia Thank you very much :). Its a pleasure to be here. Yes it is a massive switch and it isn’t so easy to translate as I thought but im enjoying the new challenge 🥰. ☺️
I"m an adult skater who has majorly struggled struggled with the backspin for years, and am just now starting to get it more consistent. I LOVE the idea of making it into a heart before spinning! I will give that a try!
Thank you so much. I just got angry and left the ice last class becuase of this. The coach warmed us up by practicing some backwards outside and inside edges. I thought I would be able to do those but to my surprise I couldn't do them at all. From there a few other exercises and then this back spin and I had had enough and deserted class and even skipped power class after that. I have several problems. I don't like skating in sharp skates so I had let my skates wear down, I like them that way. I felt myself sliding too much so I had them sharpened and now it's like learning to skate all over. Lesson learned: keep them sharp and learn how to skate in sharp skates. Then I thought I was getting good at my one foot spin but hit a wall at five revolutions and had to start over at square one to learn the proper entry and that three turn. Demoralising to be back at zero revs after I thought I was at five. It was all just too much for me. I can't wait to get back on the ice and try these lessons in this video.
I take ice skating lessons near my house, and my coach’s name is also “coach Julia” just like you, lol!! Anyways, thanks for the tutorial! Super helpful as always😊
I've been struggling with this spin, and others too for that matter, but I will try this learning technique. Again, you are so clear and concise in your demonstrations. Thanks so much.
As always from Coach Julia, an A1 excellent instructional video and as a rule all of Coach Julia's videos, including this one, are the best videos on TH-cam of the subject matter. On any topic, start with Coach Julia's video first and then review other videos as secondary sources offering alternate instructional strategies. On any conflict between Coach Julia's instruction and some other coaches, assume Coach Julia's advice to be the correct and best approach, I'm sure that will almost always be the case. In this video her advice to not use the toe-pick when doing that basic entry with the "pivot" is great advice. Putting the right toe-pick in the ice for a pivot there is the wrong approach, that will lead you to spin in place like a ballerina would, when what you need is to skate backwards in a small circle.
I know this dosent corrolate with your video but ive been watching your videos since you messed up your ankle because im in the same situation. I have surgery due for next week and im pretty nervous, but it gives me alot of hope seeing how you have progressed and bounced back. If possible could you make a video on how life is after surgery as far as any pain or limitations or just how your body and ankle feels etc thank you in advance and glad your doing great 🤗
Hope things are going well for you! Queer Girl Straight Skates has a whole series about being sidelined from (roller) skating while injured. Even though the videos aren't specific to your condition (or discipline!), there may be a few gems there that apply all the same. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
I’m also a figure skater but on quads, even though the edge techniques are different for this back spin, the entry is the same principle and it helped me to notice some mistakes I’ve been doing, thanks!!
Just because, Julia can ice-dance and it’s different. I was 4 when I begin Classic Dance ’til my 19 years old. I don’t need to swizzle to spin as a dancer. And we have the straight moode in us. I’m sorry for my English but I’m agree with Julia. What you can’t do in one time, I make it. Do you know only splits, you’re wrong , because you need to be straihgt, and only. Take some lessons with the world ballet, in youtube Channel. Carine Ice-Dancer no, ice- skater, there are too much.....
Hi, Coach Julia.I like your videos.Just before 2 hours i was on the ice and i couldn't do even one spin like that, now i realized why🙂Thanks for the explanation, i ll try again! Regards!!!
I am still having a hard time with my back spins. And now I am even loosing my scratch spin (forward). I am so sad. I will try this practice for starting to hold my back outside edge. Thank you coach Julia. ❤️
Funny thing, when I first started 1-foot spin a couple of months ago, I did the back spin xD and freaked out when I realized I had to to stand on my left leg, not the right xD .. hopefully it comes back when I try it again!
Could you do a series with all the skills you need to learn for the Pre preliminary test? I'm working on them right now but always enjoy your teachings they have helped me so much especially on those days I have no lessons or coach.
Just realised I last watched this video over 3 months ago. In the meantime, I've managed to learn and land loop and flip jumps, just still can't really do a proper back scratch spin and can barely hold it beyond 3 revs....=.= going back to this as really need to get my jump rotations faster. thanks again for the helpful video!
Thanks for the video. You demonstrated at the end the right back outside one foot spin exit, but didn't explain how you get speed on the exit. Do you have suggestions? Incidentally, I was starting to work on this when my rink was closed for Covid, and haven't gotten back to it yet.
Thanks so much for all you’ve done to me. I would have my ice dancer exam in France and no one teach me . Just yourself and I try my hardest to win. I’ve got my chance , I ’ve danced when I was 4 ’til I was 19 years old. And classic dance is now my power.
Hi Julia, It’s okay to me to let my leg front of me even if I turn on my syntetic Rink ’cause in France, all the rinks are not open . I have the chance to have mine but it’s not seemer than a real ice. I have danced classic dance at 4 years old and,pendind 15 years long, it’s my other chance, and you are my chance too. I don’t want to have my exam of ice-skater, in solo, I want to have my National. May you teach me ice dancing, I ’m staight because of dance and I was an attorney. I chost my young retreat because of another chance and since 2018 , I ’ve always dance, even country that I learned as yourself, but it was texans women. I dance all , with risks and now miss me ,this dance the harderst one. But, I’m in Love with this and I’m such a fool. Thanks so much. This lesson’s okay, and I have to go to the real rink in May but the 21 or in june ..... France,s wrong, money, just for money because you know, France is the only country to asked 44 Milliards € to Germany. Thanks to be An half Spanish and Jewish from Egypte . I stay in touch Carine
I'm struggling to do anything on my right foot, back 3s, mohawks, back spins. Everything is fine on the left foot. The only thing my right foot has been good for is landing jumps. So frustrating.
Hello , fantastic tuto video as always :) I still have a question : when you're doing the first exercice : on wich part of the blade are you ? ball or further back ? thanks
You want to try and stand on the rocker, so basically the ball of the foot. Some people have a real problem with hitting their toe pic though, so I would suggest they try and stand just behind the rocker as they learn foot control.
I have trouble in my back spin. I am spinning on my mid blade and heel, also I could not close immediately, unless I gone 3 rounds of open hand and legs. How to make a habit spinning on the toe and close it fast? When I forced myself to spin on the toe, my arch hurt badly. I could spin mid blade about 6 round but once I start closing, I am totally on my heel. Thanks your video helps me alot.
I had my backspin then lost it and then it came back again then I lost it. And now since I took an arrow to the knee, I mean since I sprained my ankle, prob gotta get it back again.
I just go six times on the rink and ice-Skaters asked me how I make it. How I can be so straight, it’s because of classic danse. I show what you do , and I reproduce .
I enjoy your videos. A request. Would you consider starting the video by showing the full move at the beginning and then go step by step exactly as you're currently doing it? It would help to know what you are building up to. Continued success!
Great suggestion!
@@CoachJulia I've been skating with my daughter and we both love your tone and approach! (writing from Philadelphia)
I second the motion! 🤗 many times I do not know what the titles mean and it is difficult for me to know which exercise is the goal. Pd: I love your videos! greetings from Mexico❤️
Same! I usually seek to that point and then restart the video, but this would help so soooooo much

@@CoachJulia so last Friday I was able to hold one leg up for three turns. I am happy to be doing that now (not even that I was able too). Thank you
You explain it very well ,thanks. I will try to do it more on roller skates.
The drawing of the shape of the entry & spin was very helpful! Thank you!

Oh my gosh. I feel that! I hated learning these years and years ago. They do get better though! There is hope!
amazing

hi, is it posible to do this spin on inline skate or roller blade?
我们都是才
i’m scared i don’t think i can ever do this
What way do you spin?
I am a counter clockwise spinner
@@CoachJulia oh okay!!
Your face expression is like an actress', so every lesson is like a little movie
Awe, thank you!
@@CoachJulia folks love skipping lessons to watch a movie, if they knew there're such lessons they might as well skip the movie ;)
