😃 me too!

You make a valid point, although it may take a little time and practice, this basic shape is achievable by most humans without being Elastagirl. Technically we can only call this move a spiral once the back leg is level with of higher than our hip, but it can also look nice at any angle on the way there if we work on our alignment and selling it with intent (nice arm extension, head up, shaping the back leg to a full stretch or even bent into a balletic attitude).

Holding a leg off the ice for a spiral can be a gradual process. Starting by the barrier is a good way to get used to it. When you feel at home with that, you can ween your way a little further from the rink side. Be kind and patient with yourself. 🙂 Set small manageable targets and leave plenty of time to gain a comfort level there before moving on to your next stage.

@@IceSkatingLondon thanks a lot! I’ll keep that in mind
