Hi everyone. I've been ice skating for a few years now, just group lessons and synchro. I really enjoy setting and achieving goals. I've been thinking about adult MIF, I just don't know much about it. Can you guys tell me about it?
When you test, can you JUST test on the moves you were taught, or do you have to come up with a program and skate to music? Do you have to compete, or can you just learn the moves and then take the test on those moves. I just want to learn correct form and follow a clear and direct path, but I'm not one for dramatic performances. (Imagine my surprise when my coach told me that ice skating was all about the performance.) For me skating has always been about enjoying freedom with family and friends.
I feel that maybe the MIF would give me a clear path for learning in sequence. I could be wrong, that's why I'm asking.
I'm middle aged, I DON'T want to wear a skirt or leggings. I just want to learn correct form and follow a clear and direct path. Skating has been the center of my life since I was young, it's a passion that just doesn't go away (quad skating and slalom skating). Just wondering if MIF is the path for me. Thanks.
