Learning how to use your arms as an adult skater can be a little confusing and even embarassing! Are you suppose to use them like a gymnast would? Maybe a dancer? You know you want to look strong and beautiful, without looking too dramatic or silly. So how on Earth do you start learning to use you arms to get that look?
In this lesson, we have created 3 great exercises to help you start using your arms on the ice. They can be learnt while doing basic skating, or more complicated steps. We’ll show you exactly how to use your arms, the movements to avoid and the simple corrections you can fix right away. So when you’re ready to finally get your arms involved, check out this lesson.
In this lesson you'll learn:
The 3 exercises any skater can start learning right away
How to use your arms so they give off that “Elegan”look
How to begin using the arms with harder steps
Happy Skating,

Of course I’ll suggest this since I’m a former ballerina who went into figure skating and recently went back to ballet to help with skating, but ballet training should be more required/popularized as a very important training for figure skating. Not only musicality, artistry, posture, body lines, but port de bra absolutely makes a difference if the skater has ballet experience and training.
Ballet definitely helps ❤️❤️❤️
Super elegant graceful arms. It's absolutely possible to make even basic skills look more advanced and interesting by emphasising upper body and arms.
I think however many people arent naturally drawn to using their arms in this way, particularly if they're not from a dance background.
If you can get over the "do i look a bit silly" doing this... You'll be the envy of the rigid army ;)
Practice at home in the mirror to get comfortable 👍❤️ this will help lots. Just try adding a couple of arms on your warm up on the ice and getting comfortable with that. Before you know it, you will be doing it naturally without thinking 😉❤️
Amazing! Arms always seem to be forgotten in the struggle to get elements.
Arms and face. At least I often look veeeery concentrated and probably more like sitting on the toilet than doing figure skating. 😅 I think I should start to learn to smile all the time, to make it a habit to look friendly instead of too focused on what I'm doing. 😂
@@kailynn4483 lol! Me too!
@@johannabarry4672 There's just too much to think about! 😅
I think because we focus so much on our feet ☺️❤️
I need to learn this right now. I am shooting up through levels really fast because I was a gymnast (beginner 1 to aspire in 3 months), but the whole arms concept is so new to me! I forget about them all the time and screw up my skills when I do! 😣
Definitely give this video a go 👍 absolutely amazing you moving up so quickly. You will get the arms 😉Keep up the fabulous work ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I am sure I will get stuck at higher level skills just like everyone else 🤷🏻♀️☺️
