But when an amateur skater does an exhibition or an officially sanctioned event, lyrics can be used. Freestyle skating is more than just being able to do triple jumps and a variety of spins. Routines are comprised of certain required elements, but for the adult skater they are not nearly as stringent as they are for the competitor with Olympian goals. Maybe you ve taken ballroom dance or want to. Torvill and Dean intrigue you, as do the legendary two-time Olympian Pasha Grishuk and her former partner Evgeny Platov, Anissina and Peizerat, Punsalen and Swallow and many, many more wonderful ice dancers who can t be listed due to space limitations.
Ice dancing is more than ballroom on ice.
The music can be sensuous, classical, new age, blasting with rhythm and blues, or it can explode into a new realm altogether. The more men who become interested in ice dancing, the happier the females who outnumber them will be. But there is solo ice dancing for those who re dedicated enough. If not, ice dancing is still fun and excellent exercise. The music alone will pull you out of a bad mood and cheer you up as you skate.
