Back in the day when I was a figure skater, ballet classes were greatly encouraged. I remember Karen Magnussen always took ballet and one could see the results when Karen skated, especially when she did her magnificent spiral all the way around the rink. She also did a wonderful Bauer move into a double axle. Karen was one of few skaters who could do spins and field moves in both directions equally well. Karen always looked poised and well centered throughout her programs. I'm sure it was due to all her ballet training.
