Thanks for the great questions for Ann...Hey, Kate!<br /><br />Thanks for the great questions for Annette. I'll be forwarding them to her shortly. Look for the answers in next week Wednesday's post.<br /><br />Ice Coach is going to be starting her own blog on April 3. She runs a Basic Skills Learn to Skate, so she'll be writing a lot about the newbie experience, too. I'll keep your needs in mind as I develop my editiorial calendar. <br /><br />If you have specific newbie questions, I encourage you to e-mail me: icemom.diane@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!<br /><br />Ice MomIce Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639175462486739483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-15987600651559803252010-03-16T13:40:06.078-05:002010-03-16T13:40:06.078-05:00Thanks so much Qi'En!

I'm going to pass them on to her in just a minute!<br /><br />Good idea of putting a mirror up to the skating world and see how we're perceived. I'll have to think about who might be a good fit for it.<br /><br />Ice MomIce Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639175462486739483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-41356643184982375482010-03-16T11:30:08.014-05:002010-03-16T11:30:08.014-05:00My Q for Annette: My daughter is a young skater, j...My Q for Annette: My daughter is a young skater, just starting out, but has been taking ballet/dance since she was 2. What should, if anything, we do differently now that she's skating? Should we be paying more attention to certain parts of dance. Will certain moves help more then others? Also, between ballet and gymnastics, which do you think helps with skating most?<br /><br />IceMom~ You're headed for quite the undertaking. I'm very excited for you and for your readers. As a newbie skating mom, I would love to see more posts about the basics of skating, skate parenting, etc.<br /><br />ThanksKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695898803346817238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-26401908190824467742010-03-16T10:14:37.317-05:002010-03-16T10:14:37.317-05:00Q for Annette:

I see that a lot in my rink and often the teachers will ask the skater to stop skating or ballet. They are serious about ballet, not to to the extend of making it a career. What do you tell the ballet teacher?<br /><br />Icemom: Keep the the good work! I love all these experts posting. Perhaps one day you should get someone who is unfamiliar about figure skating to comment on the sport! Preferably from the men and women's perspectives!<br /><br />=DSkatEnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014682087141235775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-80232656503150762232010-03-15T19:06:51.997-05:002010-03-15T19:06:51.997-05:00That would indeed be a great idea, Anony.
