Following Disney on Ice, the very next day, it was time for Emily to test out of Basic 3 at her ice skating lessons. Her skills for this class included:
- Forward stroking, showing correct use of blade
- Forward half swizzle pumps on a circle – 6–8 consecutive clockwise and counterclockwise
- Moving forward to backward two-foot turn – clockwise and counterclockwise
- Backward one-foot glides – R and L
- Forward slalom
- Two-foot spin – up to two revolutions
She worked really hard, particularly on the two foot turn moving forward to backward. And, if they had tested even one week earlier, she probably would have had trouble. But, she did it! She passed Basic 3! She was very proud to tell us that she used her best efforts and checked off all her skills. We celebrated with dinner at TGI Friday's and sundaes at Yogurt Mountain.
