Solo Ice Dancing - Dutch Waltz & Fiesta Tango

For all of those ice dancers who are looking for videos of basic ice dances I thought I would post my recent solo dance competition. The problem in the Dutch Waltz is because I ran out of room but I should have had deeper edges. That will teach me!!!!

Great Video! Just in a scramble to get my coaching levels and I’m using your video to prepare, so thanks so much for posting it!

CHEERS!

@sk84it Thank you so much for the nice comment. I really appreciate it.

Nice job! Makes me want to get back into ice-dance, if we had a rink closer by! Your rink size (3/4-Olympic) sounds about the size of the one I learned most of the dances on...about 100 years ago, it seems...What dances are you working on now?

Thank you for the nice comment.

Currently I am working on Starlight Waltz and Cha Cha Congelada for my next test. It is taking quite a while to get there.

I think we're old enough friends that I can tease you about the bent free legs, the lack of toe-point and the rather dubious Mohawk - but you knew all that already, I'm sure. And you have super posture and speed - much better than mine!

LOL - thank you (I think)!!

That was a while ago now. I would like to think that I have improved since then. But I still hate that mohawk. Don't know why - my body just hates it and finds it awkward.

Thanks for posting this, I'm learning the dutch waltz at the moment and it's helpful to find a video that isn't of pairs. Especially when I'm still trying to cement the steps in my head ;)

Thank you for posting these! I'm looking to get back to skating in the near future (once I move where the ice rink isn't 2+ hours away!)

I haven't skated at all for about 3 or 4 years. I used to not be interested in ice dance but I am now. Maybe that comes with being older, I don't know.

Thanks for the post!

nice and smooth and elegant!

Sounds fun! From the little I've seen of the Cha Cha, it looks fun, if complex (along w/ the Finnstep)! Several of the Internationals are new to testing/competition since I've been active. The Starlight was one of my favorite dances to do in competition (Senior Adult, ca. 1991). Best wishes!

Oh, I'm sure you've improved a lot since then. Odd about that Mohawk - it's far and away my best one! Which isn't saying much, but at least I can do it at speed.
