Input on John Wilson Super Dance 99 Blades?

I’m currently using Edea rotation blades but found that spins are so much more difficult than in my original blades, however jumps are just as easy, I’m a beginner working mainly on spins and beginner jumps (waltz, axel, Salchow). I felt as though I was progressing a lot in my other blades but these have somewhat set me back so I’ve had a look and found some super cheap John Wilson dance blades but can’t find any reviews for them anywhere.
Does anyone have any experience with these blades and what do you recommend?

Hi and welcome. Used to dance on those and they are no longer made IIRC. You don't need dance blades so that's my first NO about these blades you found, the second is if they are used already, then NO again. Either way, you don't need those. Look for MK Pro or JW Coronation Ace blades, or even Legacy 7 or 8 blades. You'd be better off in the MK Pro or JW Coro Aces though, b/c the rockers aren't as flat as the Legacy to help your spins.

Do you know what skill level they’re good for? I’ve also bought some coronation aces but may be able to use the dance blades in future?

They're higher level blades, or should I say WERE higher level blades since they aren't made now, so at your skill level you definitely DON'T want or need them ever, especially if you aren't going into ice dance. You need a standard intermediate level freestyle blade like the others I suggested.
