This is the pose I use to end my program with. I do a forward lunge and turn into this position.
(I only had one glove on because we were just practicing death spirals, and I can't hold my partner's hand well when I'm wearing gloves. I leave one on to brush the snow off afterward if I fall.)

Great pose!! I love your practice dress. What skates are you wereing??

Thanks! I was actually going to use that dress for a competition for my program to "Zorba the Greek" and add beads to it, but I left it as a practice dress. And those skates are custom Reidells.

Cool! That looks very dramatic. Haha, I was wondering about the one glove, lol!

great pic

I've always wanted to ask this of figure skaters (I'm a dancer)

Don't you get cold legs with those kind of poses??

It actually wasn't that cold. It was just my knee on the ice and I had two pairs of tights on. The thing I worry about more is rough ice. I slide into that pose and if the ice isn't smooth, it kinda hurts.

the pose looks so fun and elegant at the same time - i luv it!
