'Tis the Season...

Well, it's that time of year again - time to remember all that we are thankful for, those we miss, those we love, and for what we have. Here's a little poem that I think sums up what I'm trying to say:

Make a Memory

Make a memory with your children, Spend some time to show you care;
Toys and trinkets can't replace those Precious moments that you share.

Money doesn't buy real pleasure, It doesn't matter where you live;
Children need your own attention, Something only you can give.

Childhood's days pass all too quickly, Happy memories all too few;
Plan to do that special something, Take the time to go or do.

Make a memory with your children, Take the time in busy days;.
Have some fun while they are growing, Show your love in gentle ways.

-Elaine Hardt

Skating Vocab - Installment One

Aim—what you didn’t do if you ran into the barrier railing.

Angular—A type of takeoff, which is highly impractical if one’s partner is doing a parallel takeoff.

Arabesque—A fancy name for a spiral.

Backward—A boy who stammers when he asks a girl to skate.

Barrier—An unmovable wall or railing whose sole purpose is to bruise and annoy skaters.

Baseline—A supposedly stationary reference line, which increases the difficulty and adds to the confusion of dance skating.

Beat—What every pro occasionally feels like doing to his students!

Blues: A special dance devised by instructors in order to confuse their pupils with the Tango. It usually succeeds—this means more lessons to confuse them. This is very good for the trade.

Bracket—An inside out three turn.
