Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on my stance lately, really trying to stay as front-on as possible and focus on that “coffee cup” position. I’d love to get your thoughts on this short video.

Here’s what I noticed myself:

My back foot isn’t flat.

Knees are not kissing.

The forehand turn feels a bit awkward and stiff — I’m not really leaning into it.

My head stays too upright instead of getting low.

On the backhand turn, my left arm drops instead of lifting up — although I’ve noticed that in this particular bowl, even the “good” skaters seem to keep it low… maybe it’s the shape of the spot?

Overall, I’m still not happy with my style. It just doesn’t feel fluid — maybe it’s that glorious midlife stiffness kicking in… haha!

Any feedback would be really appreciated — I’m keen to improve.

Thanks!
