backward outside edges-of course, on
opposite feet.
BY most skaters this rotation is ef'
tected by means of a sudden jerk or
heaving over-the man crossing one foot
over the other, in order to obtain the
necessary push to force his partner
round the other way. Good performers
also effect the rotation by crossing the
foot, but in such a manner as to disguise
the movement as much as possible, by
just slipping the foot over the other in a
gliding step. One never observes a good
lady valser make use OF the cross-step
backward to change her rotation.
The lady, instead of passing stIaight
from the backward edge on one foot TO
the same edge on the other foot, should
glide over, by a gradual change of edge,
from the outside to the inside on the
first foot, tracing thereon an inside curve,
often several yards long, before passing
from that foot to the outside back on the
other. This will enable her partner
who at the same time changes from his
forward outside to a curve on the in
side-to skate round her smoothly and
easily at the proper angle; and their
change OF rotation will therefore be
effected by an easy, even, floating swing
of the body, delightful to behold and still
more delightful to experience.
For practice In acquiring the valse
steps, nothing can be better than doing
the figure alone in an eight to a centre

man on his forward edge at the centre

turns, the lady should be on the back.
ward edges, for the reason that as her
partner must take the leading or guiding
part, he must OF necessity be free to look
in the direction OF motion.
AS the movements must be as supple
and as smooth as possible, all signs of
effort should be concealed, ease and
grace being the most essential charac-
teristics OF the movement.
Unity OF movement may perhaps be
said to come next in importance TO ease
and grace; this can only be attained by
the motions OF the gentleman's arms and

wl.o have never followed any particular
system OF valsing will find the Circular
Valse the easier of the two styles, and
those who have hitherto followed the
Serpentine system will find no diff
Guilty in making the change.
Valsing on skates has nothing In COM
mon with the ballroom waltz except the
position of the partners, their simulta-
neous rotation and their execution OF the
figure to waltz music.
1t is a good idea for skaters first to
learn what the valse figure is and to
practise 1t persistently alone before try
ing 1t with a partner.
The steps of the valse are long, even
sustained glides of several yards In
length, with smooth, clrcllng move
ments.
In it's simplest form the Valse step 10
nothing more than an ordinary forward
outside edge on one foot, followed by
three-turn to the back inside edge on the
same foot, and then a passing, with
gliding step-not a drop-to the back
ward outside edge on the other foot
This inside backward edge-the tall
of the three-is often held for a yard or
two before gliding to the outside back
ward on the other foot
While tracing this last step, outside
backward, the body should be gradually
turning, to allow the skater TO pass
straight on to the outside forward on
the original foot. when the figure may
be repeated.
It is obvious, from their relative posi-.
tions, that when the man is moving on
forward curves his partner will be NOV
ing on backward ones, on opposite but
reverse feet; when he is on backward
curves she will be on forward ones; and
further when he is cutting the three
turn she will be passing from her out
side forward edge on her other foot. and
vice versa.
The three-turn, as described, has been
confined to the left foot, and brings about
a rotation of the valsers counter
clockWise. To change or reverse this ro-
tation, the figure is done similarly on
the right foot, that is to say, the three
turn, which gives the rotation, is now
done on the right foot.
Usually two or three turns are done
on the left foot, counter-clockwise rota-
ton, to one or two on the right; the re-
verse, when the rotation is changed back
to the first, and so on, effecting a gen.
eral progression Of the valsers around
the skating area.
The main effect and charm of the valse
depend on the manner in which the
change Of rotation is accomplished. When
IL is desired to make the change the
man, who is usually leading and guiding
instead of cutting another three holds

legs acting in unity with those OF the
lady.
The valsing couple should pay special
attention to the suppleness of the trac.
ing or employed leg which should never
be held straight or rigid, but should be
bent easily before and after each turn;
it should be slowly Strengthened at the
beginning OF every edge to give proper
graceful and easy effect.
During the change from one foot 10
the other, on the back edges, the lady's
tracing foot should make a slight change
OF edge, so that at this point a kind of
undulatory effect can be given to the
figure.
To make the change from inside back
ward to outside backward on the other

avoid irregularity OF movement the
strike-off must be simultaneous.
The head should be held erect, and the
body upright but flexible. Each partner
should be square and opposite to each
other, and there should be no turning OF
the head TO look around before cutting
the three-turn. The curve should be
skated with firmness and precision, and,
as a general rule, held for something like
a fourth or a third of a circle both be
for and after the turn is cut. The pair
skating together-the lady taking the
mans part and the man the lady's part
is an excellent aid to proficiency.
The mode OF starting the valse figure
should not be haphazard but with definite
movements in concert and in step. Nor

NOo II on the Ice
BY Mr.. IrOing BrokarO
Champion Figure Skater Of America, Author of the
"Art Of Skating" Etc.

A NY one who has studied and
"A mastered the elementary school
figures described in the preced-
ing articles will be in a position to take
up the Valse and other simple ice-dances
/ shall leave the remaining school
figures, the Bracket, Rocker and
Counter, therefore, for a later article.
The Valse will be more effective to
raise the standard of proficiency among
skaters in general than any other figure,
because people otherwise unambitious
TO acquire proficiency will be aroused
enough by seeing the Valse well per-
formed to practise it as an essential to
skating.
The credit for the introduction of
Waiting on ice has been claimed by
various countries. In this connection 1t
may be interesting to note that 1t
originated here in the early sixties,
fact in which we may take no little pride.
| have seen it described in an American
book published at that time.
There are two styles Of valsing on
skates. One is the Circular Valse and
the other the Serpentine. There is no
difference in the steps, but the course
followed by the skaters is quite dill
ferent. =
In the Circular Valse the couples re-
volve around large circles, in the form
of a single or double eight, which take
up nearly the full width OF the rink or
other skating surface, all making their
turns together in time to the music.
In the Serpentine Valse the skaters
follow waving lines along each side Of
the rink, with a wide curve at each end,
the skaters advancing to and receding
from the centre line and continually
reversing their direction of turning as
they get onto the different curves. Hav-
ing only half the width of the rink avail
able for their strokes, these are neces-
sarily curtailed, and, as a rule, 1t is
impossible to take more than two con-
secutive strokes in one direction Except
at the ends of the rink, for 1t Is not
safe TO cross the centre line as the
couples on the other side are progress
ing in the opposite direction, and a col
lision would be disastrous.
In the Circular Valse, on the other
hand, there is practically no danger from
collision, for when two couples do come
together the result is harmless, as they
they are both travelling in the same
direction. Then again in this method
there are so-called safety zones" in
which the couples may stand when not
skating, when there is no such posi-
bility in the Serpentine style.
For these reasons / am a strong ad-
vocate of the Circular Valse, and hope
that this method will be pretty gener-
ally taken up, in order that we may

be placed on the ice
as near as possible
to the other during
the execution of the
three-turns.
II is imperative TO
skate In perfect
rhythm or time to
the music, which
must be fast enough
to enable the valsers
to give plenty of ac-
ton to the dance.
All edges should
show similarity OF
curve; therefore, the
edges should be near
ly equal In length.
To skate the valse
in eight form, the
partners must keep
