After thinking for a while, my skater finally decided to quit pattern dance and focus on free skate. But she is preparing for senior solo free dance test. we do know some skaters who had no dance background had solo free dance lessons after they passed Senior moves. Then they passed Senior solo free dance later. This is what my daughter was going to try. We found a dance coach a while ago and started working on it. Suddenly, my coach said there's rule change effective from Feb1. Only Senior moves is not enough. Senior moves + 1 pre gold pattern dance is eligible for senior solo free dance test. It is such a big change! It is a very long way to Pre-Gold. Originally, we thought we will spend half a year or so to have a happy wrapping up of dance. Now it is a totally different commitment. My skater is in an awkward situation. She can't go back to finish pattern dance. Another way is to test from Juv solo free dance to Senior. Her coach said it shouldn't be a big challenge to her because she is competing at intermediate level., working on Novice free skate. But I am still not sure. Anyone has experience? How hard will it be in this situation?
