A sport such as figure skating contributes to the creation of a beautiful figure and excellent coordination of movements. Therefore, this lesson can be interesting for both children and adults. There are many opportunities in Moscow to become an aspiring skater.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide which type of figure skating is the most interesting for you. There are schools where the emphasis is on sports skating. There are also specialists who lead a training program for the theater on ice. In this case, more attention is paid not to jumping, but to choreographic elements. For example, similar education for children is conducted at the Astrum ICE school.
Step 2
Think about what you want to achieve as a result of the training. If you dream that your child will become a champion, you should send him to school early enough, at 4-6 years old, and preferably to a children's sports school, which is part of the Figure Skating Federation in Moscow. However, keep in mind that not every child can continue studying in such a place, but only those who have sufficient ability and perseverance for long training sessions.
Step 3
For yourself, choose an adult figure skating group. Your training program will be less intense than that of children preparing to become athletes, but you can also learn the basics of skiing with enough perseverance and care of the coach. A group for adults works at the rink of the Ministry of Emergencies, as part of the Color Ice school. Also, similar classes are conducted at the European skating rink.
Step 4
Get a medical examination even if you think you are completely healthy. There are contraindications for figure skating. These include chronic diseases of the respiratory system, joints, as well as the heart and blood vessels. However, a lot depends on the intensity of the load. Talk to your doctor and he will be able to tell you what level of stress is acceptable for you.
Step 5
Come to the first trial lesson. If there are several coaches for newcomers at school, try to see how each one works. In many ways, it depends on the efforts of the coach whether you will successfully practice or quickly leave figure skating. Also, you should not rush to purchase a long-term subscription until you have worked out for at least a month.
